Critics call it politically motivated suppression, while FEMA defends it as essential election security. This isn’t the first legal battle — states won twice before — and a federal judge previously declared such funding leverage unlawful. Meanwhile, in Boyle Heights, cleanup of spoiled food waste from a burned warehouse continues under a looming August 14 deadline, with lingering odors and skepticism over the effectiveness of odor control measures.
