Nye County got a $1M federal grant. The catch? No DEI and other Trump admin priorities

Two weeks ago, Nye County approved a noncontroversial $1 million federal grant aimed at boosting public safety. But buried in the award was language requiring the county to comply with swaths of President Donald Trump's policies, including all executive orders and presidential memoranda. It's at least the second such grant awarded to a local government in Nevada with these strings attached and marks a departure from previous grants by requiring the county to follow sweeping executive orders that typically only apply to federal agencies. The grant, which passed unanimously through a consent agenda, is aimed at adding security enhancements — such as surveillance cameras — in local parks and to county buildings. Among the 44 conditions in the grant, one prohibits the county from restricting communication regarding an individual's citizenship status with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) or other federal entities.
