FEMA Misappropriates 59 Million Dollars To Illegals In One Week



The U.S. government has dangerously inefficient departments. In fact, they are so inadequate that, in some cases, the inefficiency appears deliberate. The Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) has emerged as one such department.

During the election cycle, it was reported that FEMA representatives deliberately skipped hurricane-damaged homes that displayed Trump signs or flags. It was a disgusting display of political bias that denied desperately needed help for families that chose a more conservative political stance.

Now, it has been learned that the liberal officials running this once respected and now rogue department have crossed a moral and legal line again. Last week, FEMA sent $59 million to luxury hotels across New York City in defiance of President Trump’s Executive Order. Elon Musk, who leads the Department of Government Efficiency, posted on X that the hotels housed hundreds of illegal aliens.

“Sending this money violated the law and is in gross insubordination to the President’s executive order. That money is meant for American disaster relief and instead is being spent on high-end hotels for illegals.”

Musk added: “A clawback demand will be made today to recoup those funds.”

A Department of Homeland Security official told the National Review yesterday that the DHS intends to take action against FEMA.

“As Secretary Noem said yesterday, we must get rid of FEMA the way it exists today. This is yet another egregious example. Individuals who circumvented leadership and unilaterally made this payment will be fired and held accountable.”

Noem added:

“We still need the resources and the funds and the finances to go to people that have these types of disasters like Hurricane Helene and the fires in California, but you need to let the local officials make the decisions on how that is deployed so it can be deployed much quicker and we don’t need the bureaucracy that’s picking and choosing winners.”

During the first week of his presidency, President Trump signed an executive order to establish a council tasked with reviewing FEMA operations and eliminating political bias within the agency. This decision came in response to the scandal involving a former FEMA employee from Florida, Marni Washington, who instructed her staff to avoid homes displaying Trump signage after Hurricane Milton. Washington was later fired and claimed that her instructions were in line with FEMA policy and had been approved by higher-ranking officials.

Trump’s executive order mandates that a review council convene within 90 days and produce a report within 180 days on necessary changes to FEMA.

Even more disturbing are reports that while the money was being spent on illegals staying in New York City hotels, FEMA was evicting hurricane survivors from motels and other housing in North Carolina and Tennessee, leaving many Americans in that region homeless.
