Trump admin cutting $20M in DC security funding after federal law enforcement ordered to increase presence

The Trump administration plans to cut $20 million in security funding for Washington, D.C., despite President Donald Trump ordering federal law enforcement to increase its presence.
The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees FEMA, said on Friday it slashed funds to multiple cities to be consistent with the "current threat landscape." Chicago, New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Jersey City also had their security funds cut, but the decrease in D.C. was the largest for any urban area that received funding from the program last fiscal year.
DHS has "observed a shift from large-scale, coordinated attacks like 9/11 to simpler, small-scale assaults, heightening the vulnerability of soft targets and crowded spaces in urban areas."
