1. After suddenly firing four FEMA officials in charge of grants, the Trump administration quietly revoked $80 million in congressionally approved funds intended to help New York City house undocumented immigrants, the latest episode in President Donald Trump’s escalating confrontation with the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

   On Tuesday, the Department of Homeland Security said it had terminated four officials, including Mary Comans, FEMA’s chief financial officer, for “circumventing leadership to unilaterally make egregious payments for luxury NYC hotels for migrants.” DHS Secretary Kristi L. Noem then [announced](https://x.com/sec_noem/status/1889745682631721051?s=46&t=G6D1OoYklEVF3UCZEqHT9A) that she had “clawed back the full payment that FEMA deep state activists” made to New York City.

   The “egregious payments” are part of a DHS grant program that houses migrants in hotels and other facilities, which Trump initiated during his first presidency and that FEMA now oversees. The program uses money from Customs and Border Protection, repays communities for shelter costs and has nothing to do with disaster relief.

2. This guy’s a monster

3. Why is the federal government giving money to a sanctuary city to house illegal immigrants breaking US law? Thats what the $80 million was used for btw.

4. To learn why a coup happened in the US and why Musk along with other Billionaires are working to destroy the country, see this video from two months ago, predictions are coming true:

5. Does this mean NYC can stop funding red states via tax dollars?

6. I wonder if they were staying at trump properties if he would have cared. (barring the fact that I have no doubt he would scoff at the thought of letting them stay there)

   Bet he would have double or tripled the funding if his name was attached.

7. To the Roosevelt Hotel and old hotel that was changed into a migrant shelter for asylum seekers using the process legally. They just lie.

8. Trump-“I’m so mad mad, cause these people actually charged me with my crimes-I must take revenge,how dare they notice all my crimes.I’m so mad mad mad mommy”!

9. So how long till states just withhold money. The law doesn’t matter so just play the same game.

   What’s the modern day version of throwing the tea in the harbour to fight the king?

10. Is that legal? Does it matter?

11. Is this climate news?

12. I can feel the up votes are going to be increasing.

13. So what is he gonna do with the 80 Million Dollars now?
