A federal judge has refused to order the Trump administration to immediately reimburse dozens of public broadcasting stations for upgrades to the nation’s emergency alert system
A federal judge denied a request to force the Trump administration and FEMA to immediately reimburse public broadcasting stations for upgrades to the US Emergency Alert System. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting sued FEMA, claiming the agency unlawfully withheld nearly $2 million in grant money, hampering real-time emergency alert capabilities. The judge ruled that the CPB failed to demonstrate irreparable harm and that FEMA's modified review process was within its authority to prevent waste, fraud, and abuse.
