加州总检察长邦塔支持挑战反恐资金的选举条件：吁上诉法院勿暂缓原判
加州总检察长罗布·邦塔（Rob Bonta）11月6日在加州阿拉米达县奥克兰市宣布，他与多州总检察长联盟共同领衔向联邦哥伦比亚特区巡回上诉法院提交法庭之友意见书，支持挑战特朗普政府由联邦紧急事务管理署（FEMA）给联邦反恐资金附加的选举相关条件。此前，共和党主政州的六个地方政府已在哥伦比亚特区联邦地区法院胜诉，FEMA上诉后请求巡回法院在上诉期间暂缓执行该判决，意见书请求法院拒绝这一暂缓申请。
邦塔说：「特朗普政府又一次把我们社区的安全当作其党派议程的附带损害。政府一再试图把关键联邦资金武器化、逼各州就范，法院也一再驳回这些非法的权力攫取。反恐资金是用来保护社区免受真实威胁的，不是用来推进毫无根据的选举阴谋论的。社区安全不是讨价还价的筹码，我因此敦促哥伦比亚特区巡回法院驳回暂缓地区法院判决的请求。」
国会为应对2001年9月11日恐怖袭击设立了国土安全拨款计划（HSGP），帮助州与地方政府预防、准备、防护与应对恐怖主义行为，加州及其城市每年获得1.5亿美元该计划资金。总检察长办公室称，过去18个月，FEMA大举利用数亿美元国土安全拨款及其他联邦拨款，迫使各州接受无关的政策改变；本案所涉条件要求各州采取一系列与总统选举议程一致的动作，包括采用手工标记纸质选票、使用被指不准确的SAVE数据库核验选民资格，方能获得国土安全拨款资金。邦塔与该联盟今年7月已就相同条件另行提起诉讼。
本份意见书提交于市镇政府一方诉国土安全部案（Nashville v. DHS），与邦塔共同领衔的是伊利诺伊州总检察长夸梅·拉乌尔（Kwame Raoul），联署者包括亚利桑那、科罗拉多、康涅狄格、特拉华、哥伦比亚特区、夏威夷、缅因、马里兰、马萨诸塞、密歇根、明尼苏达、内华达、新泽西、新墨西哥、纽约、北卡罗来纳、俄勒冈、罗得岛、佛蒙特、弗吉尼亚、华盛顿与威斯康星等州的总检察长，以及肯塔基州州长。

Bonta Backs Challenge to Election Conditions on Federal Counterterrorism Funding
California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced in Oakland, Alameda County, California, on November 6 that he co-led a multistate coalition in filing an amicus brief in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit supporting a challenge to election-related conditions the Trump Administration, through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), attached to federal counterterrorism funding. Six local governments in Republican-led states had won in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia; FEMA appealed and asked the D.C. Circuit to stay the judgment so it can enforce the conditions during the appeal, a request the brief urges the court to deny.
"The Trump Administration is once again making the safety of our communities collateral damage in its partisan agenda," Bonta said. "Time and time again, this administration has tried to weaponize critical federal funding to force states into submission, and time and time again, the courts have rejected these unlawful power grabs. Counterterrorism funding exists to protect our communities from real threats, not to advance baseless election conspiracy theories. The safety of our communities is not a bargaining chip, which is why I urge the D.C. Circuit to deny the request to stay the district court ruling."
Congress established the Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) in direct response to the September 11, 2001 attacks to help states and local governments prevent, prepare for, protect against, and respond to acts of terrorism; California and its cities receive $150 million in HSGP funding each year. Over the last 18 months, the Attorney General's Office said, FEMA has used hundreds of millions of dollars in HSGP and other federal grant funding to extract unrelated policy changes from the states. The conditions challenged here require states to take actions consistent with the President's election agenda, including adopting hand-marked paper ballots and using the SAVE database, which the coalition calls inaccurate, to verify voter eligibility, in order to receive HSGP funds. Bonta and the coalition challenged the same conditions in a separate lawsuit filed in July 2026.
The brief was filed in the municipalities' case, Nashville v. DHS. Bonta and Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul lead the attorneys general of Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin, and the Governor of Kentucky.
