Also remember, 23 states sued the Trump Admin for their plan to cut state aid via FEMA funds. 19 of the states had said they already had funds witheld.
External checks revealed Trumps admin "sped" money to Republican parts of Virginia and Missouri after recent issues but did NOT provide funding to other states asking for help and even held up funds for Blue parts of Virginia and Missouri. Lawsuits have been filed accusing Trump of running a secret campaign against sanctuary cities by denying them FEMA funds
In March, U.S. District Judge John McConnell issued a preliminary injunction in favor of 23 states that sued the government over its plan to implement a broad pause to state aid. The Barack Obama appointee ruled that the plan “fundamentally undermines the distinct constitutional roles of each branch of our government,” and ordered the Trump administration to “immediately end any funding pause” until further notice.
Update, it's June and the Trump administration is still in breach of the order from the judge
