YouTube Description
as posted by the channelRep. Nellie Pou confronted DHS Secretary Kristi Noem over what she called a blatant violation of federal law—accusing her department of unlawfully withholding FEMA and Homeland Security grant funding critical to state and local security efforts.
From delayed aid for cities hosting the FIFA World Cup to canceled grants meant to protect synagogues, mosques, and churches, Pou warned that DHS’s actions aren’t just bureaucratic—they're dangerous.
She highlighted how New Jersey, host of the World Cup final, is already behind in security planning due to the withholding of grant guidance, placing public safety and international reputation at risk.
This sharp exchange comes amid broader concerns about:
Union-busting at TSA
Anti-immigrant rhetoric before global events
Targeting of international students without due process
Secretary Noem claimed the funding delays were procedural—but Pou made it clear:
“You are actually violating the law.”
