(WND)—There’s more bad news for those working on all those leftover programs from Joe Biden to subsidize illegal aliens.
Now DOGE chief Elon Musk says he’s found out that FEMA spent $59 million last week to house illegals in luxury hotels in New York City, and he wants the money back.
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.
That money is meant for American disaster relief…

In a social media statement, Musk, chief of President Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency, said his 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. That money is meant for American disaster relief and instead is being spent on high end hotels for illegals! A clawback demand will be made today to recoup those funds.”
There is a massive effort by the UNELECTED bureaucracy to oppose the ELECTED President, House & Senate!!
This is why I say the true & noble battle is to restore DEMOcracy, rule of the people, from the BUREAUcracy, rule of the bureaucrats. https://t.co/Uc7YgXzodA

Biden embedded throughout the government multiple ways for tax money to be spent on illegal aliens after they break the law and enter the U.S. without permission. One of Trump’s agenda points is to eliminate that spending.
Under Biden, FEMA betrayed the American people by diverting funds meant for natural disasters to pay for luxury hotels for illegal migrants https://t.co/x135ryYM66

A report at the Gateway Pundit wondered, “And why is FEMA paying for illegal alien housing when they ignore Americans suffering and living in tents in places like North Carolina? FEMA funds are meant for American disaster relief and not to fund Joe Biden’s invasion.”
Yes, that was a huge lie by the Biden administration.
Funds were diverted from almost every part of the federal government to maximize the number of illegals in America.
There also appear to be significant funds siphoned from Social Security to pay for illegals.@DOGE https://t.co/xL20GMNL5X

The report said apparently one of the hotels is the Roosevelt in Manhattan, and in fact, city officials admitted back in 2023 that half of the hotel rooms in New York City were occupied by illegals.
Trump already has concluded that FEMA has lost its mission focus and diverted staff and resources to projects that were beyond its scope and authority, spending more than a billion dollars on the political whims of bureaucrats there.
