DOGE found that FEMA Funds Migrants While Ignoring Struggling Americans
Elon Musk revealed Monday that FEMA allocated $59 million last week to luxury hotels in New York City for illegal migrants. He claims this move violates federal law and contradicts President Trump’s executive order on disaster relief.
Critics argue that FEMA is failing American citizens. In North Carolina, many struggling families live in tents, yet FEMA funds lavish hotel stays for migrants. Instead of prioritizing disaster relief, the agency is directing resources to non-citizens.
Trump’s Executive Order & Musk’s Push for Accountability
In January 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order establishing the FEMA Response Council. This order ensures that FEMA funds support American disaster victims, not illegal migrants.
Despite this, reports reveal that over $1 billion has already been misused. Musk has now demanded a clawback of the $59 million misallocated by FEMA. He insists the funds should be returned to assist American citizens in crisis.
NYC’s Migrant Hotel Crisis Worsens
New York City’s migrant housing crisis is escalating. In May 2023, Mayor Eric Adams admitted that half of NYC hotel rooms were occupied by illegal migrants. This strained city resources and burdened taxpayers.
Now, with Trump’s stricter immigration policies in place and Musk exposing FEMA’s actions, will FEMA be forced to return the funds? Many Americans are demanding accountability and a shift in priorities toward citizens in need.
