The Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) faces backlash after reports revealed that $59 million earmarked for disaster relief went toward housing illegal migrants in luxury hotels in New York City.
The misuse of these funds has outraged critics, who argue the money should have supported citizens facing emergencies. This breach of the executive order is expected to prompt demands for a clawback of the misallocated funds.

D.O.G.E.’s Expanding Oversight on Federal Agencies
D.O.G.E. has gained access to sensitive government data across key agencies, including the U.S. Treasury, the Department of Education, and the Department of Health and Human Services. Their mission focuses on reducing expenditure and to redirect those funds for more critical areas.
The initiative has already canceled over 80 contracts related to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs across multiple federal agencies, reinforcing its stance on cutting government inefficiencies.
As D.O.G.E.’s influence grows, concerns about its expanding oversight on sensitive national security functions have surfaced. With access to vast amounts of classified data, some fear the department may extend its reach to agencies like the CIA and NSA in an effort to streamline government operations.
