A US$400 million increase in federal funding is available for security in places of worship, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced Sunday.
The boost in money comes as concerns rise over threats against Jewish and Muslim communities, fueled in part by the Israel-Hamas war.

“We’re going to keep funding so that no synagogue or other religious institution is going to have to live in the fear that they now live with,” Schumer said.
The program allocated US$305 million last year to nonprofits to help protect their facilities from potential attacks.
