Deb Haaland Criticizes Noem for Withholding FEMA Disaster Relief from New Mexico

Former Interior Secretary Deb Haaland (Laguna Pueblo), who is running to be the next governor of New Mexico, on Friday sharply criticized Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem for withholding more than $1 billion in Federal Emergency Management Agency disaster relief funds from New Mexico, according to a report from NOTUS. The report comes as Noem has also drawn criticism for aggressive Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in New Mexico communities, actions Haaland says are putting residents at risk while urgently needed disaster preparedness funding remains stalled.
