Four Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) employees will be fired Tuesday for sending $59 million to New York City to house and care for illegal migrants, according to the Department of Homeland Security. “Four employees are being fired today for circumventing leadership and unilaterally making the egregious payment for hotels for migrants in New York City,” DHS officials told Fox News in a statement.

The massive payment was blasted by Elon Musk, whose new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) highlighted the transaction on Monday.

What’s being done to the recipients of the funds in NYC? Indeed, did those funds end up in their own pockets?

Goodbye.

The whole thing is INSANE!!

These are illegal invaders. That’s what they are.

Even if they’re really nice and clean your home and build your house and mow your lawn really, really well, they still broke the law.

I like the busboy at my local diner. We chat. He’s a hard worker.

But if ICE says “you gotta go” then he’s gotta go.

They don’t NEED a reason above coming here illegally.

Too many forget that,

Meet Nigerian Prince Ifeanyi Ossai Nwabuonwu Idriss.

Last year, his company, located in his Texas home, received
$1.4M tax dollars from FEMA for bottled water for illegals in NYC.

Take away their pensions. That will definitely send a message to every government employee.

FEMA ‘s been pretty busy.

<><>They gave this Nigerian joker $1.400,000 for bottled water.

<><>DOGE discovered FEMA sent $59M to luxury NYC hotels to house illegals violating the law.....

<><>FEMA confirmed that 3,500 American households will lose Transitional Sheltering Assistance, just days before the worst winter storm rolls in. Videos show a car line “a mile-long” for portable heaters and propane. FEMA’s infamous $750 loans to US disaster areas are still available.


And this.

On Friday, October 20th, 2023, the Biden Administration sent a Supplemental Funding Request to the Congress that contains key priorities for the American Jewish community:
<><>$14.3 Billion in FEMA Emergency assistance to Israel.

FEMA emergency assistance will bolster Israel’s ability to defend herself and replenish vital defense systems, including the Iron Dome and David’s Sling missile defense programs.

Biden increased Funding for FEMA’s Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP): Vulnerable Jewish communities are in a state of elevated readiness and have already been forced to increase their security measures.

FEMA’s Nonprofit “Security Grant Program” helps ensure the safety and security of Jewish institutions. The increased funding included in Biden’s Supplemental Budget Request will help bolster the Jewish community’s capacity to protect itself at this challenging time.

Unprecedented.

Federal employees held accountable for insubordination.

Who owns the hotels? I think they are foreign owned.
