As Robert Spencer noted here, FEMA’s response to disaster management has been lacking, at best. Its primary focus was on “equity,” not lives. It also emerged in November that FEMA employees were being told to bypass homes with Trump yard signs. More news now emerges that FEMA money was diverted to house illegals in NYC.
Under Biden, FEMA took money AWAY from Americans in need of disaster relief and spent it on 5 star hotels for illegals.

The organization is so saturated in wokeism that it neglected its duty and misappropriated funds for the benefit of illegals.
Trump said he was considering either overhauling or eliminating FEMA as he toured hurricane damage in North Carolina.
“Musk alleges FEMA reimbursed NYC hotels $59 million for housing illegal immigrants,” by Anna Giaitelli, Washington Examiner, February 10, 2025:
Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency alleged that the Biden administration spent tens of millions of taxpayer dollars paying for “luxury hotels” in New York City, where thousands of illegal immigrants released into the United States from the southern border were housed.
Musk said Monday morning on his social media platform X that his team just uncovered that the Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency dispatched $59 million this past week to reimburse New York City for the massive amount of money it spent housing illegal immigrants that traveled to the sanctuary city during the Biden administration.
“The @DOGE team just discovered that FEMA sent $59M LAST WEEK to luxury hotels in New York City to house illegal migrants,” Musk said. “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! A clawback demand will be made today to recoup those funds.”…

Everyone involved in the there of this money should be sent i Gitmo and housed with the illegals there. Let them sit in prison for 4 years like they did the J6ers.

Yes, this is illegal. The funds are meant for “disaster” relief for people who suffer…such as those in Florida and NC, from the hurricanes. tornadoes, floods, etc. It was never meant to be for criminals who came to enrich themselves.
and evidently, there are still many criminals in the dept causing their own form of ‘disaster,’ from which we all need relief.

Take all the “residents” housed by FEMA dollars and put them in Guantanamo for processing to their native countries.

I bet one of those hotels was The Roosevelt Hotel. It changed hands until it ended up in the hands of both PIA – Pakistan International Airlines and Prince Faisal bin Khalid bin Al Saud AND THEN / NOW PIA when in 2000 PIA acquired Faisal’s ownership stake.
The hotel shut down during COVID in 2020 and reopened in 2023 as a shelter for ASYLUM SEEKERS! How very convenient for Pakistan! IPA is Pakistan government owned.

The Roosevelt Hotel in NYC. Forgot to add that.
somehistory says
I stayed a few days and nights at the Roosevelt years ago. I had to pay for my accommodations.

There must be a substantial portion of the money that goes to the FEMA and NYC employees, this must be investigated. So termination of FEMA employees is not enough, they must be brought to justice for a crime of stealing money. Same case for USAID and other agencies.
(So sad because actually I received some fund from USAID a long time ago)
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Yesterday, there was the news that 4 FEMA employees had been terminated. Today, Trump passed another EO terminating FEMA altogether

How is this possibly legal?
James Lincoln says
gravenimage,
I’m no attorney, but it certainly doesn’t sound legal to me.

Trying to be sneaky and ignore the new rules, payback is a bitch.
