DOGE Says FEMA Sent $59 Million Payment Last Week to Hotels in NYC to House Illegal Aliens
Breitbart ^ | 02/10/2025 | Wendell Husebo

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) on Monday uncovered a $59 million FEMA payment from just last week to house illegal aliens in “luxury hotels in New York City,” Elon Musk announced Monday.

The payment comes after the Biden administration had claimed FEMA was not using funds to support illegal aliens. “It’s just categorically false. It is not true,” former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters in October.

Republicans argued FEMA did not have enough money in the fall to help victims of the hurricane in North Carolina, but President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security claimed those reports were “completely false” and noted the agency had enough money to fund relief efforts and the FEMA Emergency Food and Shelter Program, which the Biden administration authorized in late 2022 to respond to the migrant crisis.

Musk, who is leading the DOGE initiative to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, said the FEMA payment violated the law and a “clawback demand will be made today to recoup those funds”:

$59 million a week. That’s small potatoes. You can win more playing the lotto. I’m not sure what all the hubbub is about.

The people who listen exclusively to NPR will never hear about it. Even if they did, a majority would support the spending. The more migrants. The more control.

just think, without Trump, DOGE, and Musk - no taxpayers would ever even know about this. “You shall come to know the truth, and the Truth...” you know the rest.

reporters need to start interviewing US citizens homeless on the street and see if they support the US government paying for illegal aliens high end hotel rooms!

Meanwhile, FEMA has little to no money to help AMERICAN CITIZENS (a.k.a. TAXPAYERS) devastated by hurricanes and wildfires.

Shut it down. Find out who authorized the funding/support of illegal aliens, bankrupt them, and put them in prison.

I thought FEMA was already being chopped. I didn’t realize they could still make payments for non Citizen things. I mean I would want them to still help NC and other disaster areas, but no way supporting illegals in such a wasteful manner.

Who, exactly, sent the payments in violation of Trump’s edict? Why are they not in jail? Until people start going to jail, this insubordination will go on.

All payments come from the US Treasury which the NY judge just ordered Trump and his appointees to stay away from. Is it possible this venue shopped judge has any connection to the hotels that received the money?

^^THIS is why a NY Judge decided, or was told, to stop DOGE.

Trump blew wide open the corrupt criminals running government. It’s why they wanted to kill the man and still do. Trump his choking their golden goose.

Those people have done great harm to Americans. Especially the lower fixed income and middle class....They got shanked and robbed by these criminal SOBs.

Just phoned my Congressman to introduce legislation to prevent the Courts from blocking the audit of the Federal Government. I have also requested that he introduce legislation to prevent any Court from blocking the President from doing his job, the way he wants to.
