Washington (TNND) – Elon Musk, head of the Government Efficiency Agency (DOGE), issued an alarm Monday over a $59 million payment by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to house immigrants in New York City.
A mask, shared through his presidential advisory board, discovered that payments were made to a luxury hotel that houses illegal immigrants. He demanded the costs that were made last week and turned it around.
“Sending this money violates the law and is a terrible disobedience to the president’s executive order,” Musk wrote. “That money is intended for American disaster relief and instead is spent on high-end hotels for illegals! Today’s demand for clawback is being made to get back these funds.”
FEMA manager Cameron Hamilton responded by noting that the person in charge is responsible.
“I want to thank the @Doge team for making this aware,” Hamilton wrote in X. The person in charge is responsible. ”
“@uscongress should have never asked FEMA to do this job in 2023 and 2024,” he added. “This is going to stop now.”
