Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced that the agency will end its grant funding to non-governmental organizations (NGOs) she says are using federal funds to aid illegal migration into the U.S. In an interview on Fox News, Noem said the move is part of the broader crackdown by the Donald Trump administration and the reversal of policies set by its predecessor, Joe Biden.

Noem said the decision comes after a review of the federal aid directed to NGOs. "Today we are announcing that we have stopped all grant funding that's being abused by NGOs to facilitate illegal immigration into this country," she said.
