JUST IN: President Trump Releases Statement on FEMA, Which is “Under Review and Investigation” After Spending $59 Million to House Illegals in Luxury Hotels – Says “FEMA SHOULD BE TERMINATED!”

President Trump released a statement following breaking news this morning that the Department of Homeland Security fired four rogue “deep state activists” within the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

President Trump said FEMA “is now under review and investigation” and “SHOULD BE TERMINATED!”

As The Gateway Pundit’s Cullen Linebarger reported earlier, four FEMA employees were fired by DHS after Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) discovered that just last week, FEMA spent nearly $60 million to house illegal aliens in luxury New York City hotels.

The firings reportedly include FEMA’s Chief Financial Officer, two program analysts, and a grant specialist. Elon Musk accused them of illegally authorizing the payments totaling tens of millions of dollars meant for American disaster relief.

Meanwhile, North Carolinians are sleeping in tents because their homes were swept away by hurricanes last year.

Thousands of Californians are also currently homeless due to a series of massive wildfires in Los Angeles County last month.

As the President noted, “FEMA spent tens of millions of dollars in Democrat areas, disobeying orders, but left the people of North Carolina high and dry.”

Recall FEMA’s other failures in caring for American citizens and discriminating against conservatives. As The Gateway Pundit reported, a whistleblower has come forward with text messages revealing FEMA ordered relief workers to purposely skip over homes in Florida displaying Trump signs in the aftermath of Hurricane Milton.

Additionally, over the past two years before this staggering $59 million discovery, FEMA had already funneled billions more in taxpayer dollars away from American disaster relief efforts — and into the pockets of illegal immigrants.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, during a visit to North Carolina last month after taking office, President Trump also criticized FEMA’s performance, suggesting that disaster response responsibilities should be shifted to state governments.

President Trump to Sign Executive Order to Overhaul or Eliminate Corrupt FEMA

Today's statement echoes his previous intention to sign an executive order aimed at fundamentally reforming or dismantling the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

"INDIVIDUAL STATES SHOULD HANDLE STORMS, ETC., AS THEY COME. BIG SAVINGS, FAR MORE EFFICIENT!!!" the President declared.

FEMA spent tens of millions of dollars in Democrat areas, disobeying orders, but left the people of North Carolina high and dry. It is now under review and investigation. THE BIDEN RUN FEMA HAS BEEN A DISASTER. FEMA SHOULD BE TERMINATED! IT HAS BEEN SLOW AND TOTALLY INEFFECTIVE. INDIVIDUAL STATES SHOULD HANDLE STORMS, ETC., AS THEY COME. BIG SAVINGS, FAR MORE EFFICIENT!!!

This is a developing story.

Strike while the iron is hot. This organization has been screwing up for some time. Remember Katrina? The locals set FEMA up to fail and Bush took the fall for them.
If it’s eliminated completely we’ll do just fine.

Those responsible for giving millions to illegals while ANY (no matter what ggdir political affiliation/view) Americans are living in tents due to disasters MUST go to prison and ALL their assets taken, sold and distributed to those Americans recovering from disasters.

FEMA needs to be reduced to an Action Plan for when there is an emergency. We’ve had enough disasters so that we know what will likely be needed in the event of an earthquake, a hurricane, a whatever. Then, when something happens, you break out the plan & call in the necessary people.

Prepping for disaster is what each STATE should do, as the disasters each faces will be different.

The takeaway quote from the piece...

Additionally, over the past two years before this staggering $59 million discovery, FEMA had already funneled billions more in taxpayer dollars away from American disaster relief efforts — and into the pockets of illegal immigrants.

And Biden called us Conservatives "garbage"?

I still think that FEMA can, and should be retained, but only as a completely reorganized and reconstituted agency. It represents a huge collection of expertise, coordinated response, and resources that many states just do not have the means to fund. ONLY, however, if staffed by the right people and operated in a public, USA and USA-Citizen-oriented, and in an openly transparent fashion.

I agree with your assessment. FEMA has a place in our system.
I’m not so sure that government can run it efficiently and apolitically, though. It would require constant, hands-on supervision.
