FEMA Spends $59 Million on Illegals

Elon Musk has announced that the Department of Government Efficiency found that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) spent $59 Million last week to house illegal immigrants in New York City.

Late last January, President Donald Trump issued an executive order creating the FEMA Review Council to optimize FEMA’s spending and management and terminate any political biases within the agency.

“The DOGE team just discovered that FEMA sent $59M LAST WEEK to luxury hotels in New York City to house illegal migrants,” said Musk via X. “Spending this money violated the law and is in gross insubordination to the President’s executive order.”
