FEMA employees fired over ''egregious'' payment for NYC migrants
2025-02-12
[NYPOST] Four Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) employees have been fired for sending $59 million to New York City to house and care for illegal migrants colonists, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

''Effective immediately, FEMA is terminating the employment of four individuals for circumventing leadership to unilaterally make egregious payments for luxury NYC hotels for migrants colonists,'' DHS officials said in a statement obtained by The Post.

The firings, first reported by Fox, include FEMA's Chief Financial Officer, two program analysts and a grant specialist.

''Under President Trump and Secretary Noem's leadership, DHS will not sit idly and allow deep state activists to undermine the will and safety of the American people,'' the statement added.

The massive payment was blasted by Elon Musk, whose new Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, highlighted the transaction on Monday.

''That money is meant for American disaster relief and instead is being spent on high-end hotels for illegals,'' Musk posted on X on Monday — and promised DOGE would be making ''a clawback demand — to recoup those funds.''

Cameron Hamilton, FEMA's acting administrator, said in response that FEMA had suspended payments sent to New York City to house migrants colonists beginning on Monday.

New York City Hall officials have said they have not been notified of any pause in funding and that no one has contacted them regarding Musk's clawback demand.
