Elon Musk says FEMA sent $59M last week to luxury NYC hotels to house illegal migrants: ‘Violated the law’
SUMMARY
Elon Musk announced that FEMA illegally spent $59 million last week on luxury hotels in New York City to house illegal aliens, calling it a "gross insubordination" of President Trump's executive order. “That money is meant for American disaster relief and instead is being spent on high-end hotels for illegals,” Musk posted on X. He further stated, “A clawback demand will be made today to recoup those funds.” This revelation came after President Trump initiated efforts to overhaul or potentially eliminate FEMA, citing inefficiencies and political bias. “FEMA’s not good … we’re going to turn it all around,” Trump stated while visiting survivors of Hurricane Helene, who remain homeless four months after the disaster. He proposed providing disaster relief funds directly to states instead of relying on FEMA-led efforts. In parallel, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has led aggressive mass deportation raids in New York City, involving federal agencies such as ICE, DEA, and DHS.
