“Effective immediately, FEMA is terminating the employment of four individuals for circumventing leadership to unilaterally make egregious payments for luxury NYC hotels for migrants,” DHS’s Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement, noting that the firings include FEMA’s Chief Financial Officer, two program analysts, as well as a grant specialist.
“Under President Trump and Secretary Noem’s leadership, DHS will not sit idly and allow deep state activists to undermine the will and safety of the American people,” McLaughlin added.
The news comes one day after Elon Musk, heading up the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), announced that they uncovered the $59 million payment — made last week — sent by FEMA to house migrants in luxury hotels in the Big Apple.

“The @DOGE team just discovered that FEMA sent $59M LAST WEEK to luxury hotels in New York City to house illegal migrants. Sending this money violated the law and is in gross insubordination to the President’s executive order,” Musk wrote.
“That money is meant for American disaster relief and instead is being spent on high end hotels for illegals!” he added.
In 2022, the Biden administration authorized the FEMA Emergency Food and Shelter Program to respond to the migrant crisis. While former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre continued to deny that the Biden administration was using FEMA funding to support undocumented migrants, she was caught contradicting herself throughout her tenure.
As Breitbart News reported:
However, during a press conference on September 16, 2022, Jean-Pierre was asked if the White House planned to reimburse cities who saw migrants bused to their areas.

Awesome. Moving very swiftly. I like that.
Of course, they can always go whistle blower to try and get the people who ordered them to do this.
What are their names?
“Bring Me Their Brooms!!”
They shouldbd held personally responsible. There’s no way their official duties include going around leadership and acting against official orders to make these payments, so they should be held personally liable for the improperly transferred amounts.
Are they sure this is OK with some judge somewhere?
I’m sure they feel they just took one for the team and have no remorse and are probably lawyering-up for a wrongful termination lawsuit as I type this.
“Are they sure this is OK with some judge somewhere?”
or prior approval from Shadow President Adam Shiff?
Did they lose their pensions?
They need a hard hitting punishment - one that sets an example.
AND they need to be charged criminally somehow - doesnt’ matter for what, just enough to bankrupt them and destroy their lives.
See: Letitia James
I understand that the government has able to get the money back.
Prosecute them or they will resurface in some NGO, agency, or state university system. Make them talk.
Terminates? Why aren't they in jail...it's the same as stealing.
They should be happy they weren’t recalcitrant dogs!
I on the other wish she’d confused them with a chicken stealing Jack Russell terrier
Exactly. We hold all the cards now. If we don’t prosecute this illegal corruption, Trump’s term will be for naught.
We demand jail time! Nothing less will suffice! NOW GET IT DONE!!!!!
Technically, it doesn’t say FEMA terminated their employment. It says they terminated the employees. If that were actually true, it would be an appropriate sentence for the treason they’ve committed.

The Gravel Pit is filling up?
A VERY good point.
America needs WAY better gerbilists [and editors].
