FEMA Faces Scrutiny Over Disaster Funding Practices
News summary

In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, FEMA is facing criticism for its allocation of funds, with reports indicating that $640 million has been directed towards services for migrants rather than disaster relief. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas acknowledged that FEMA is struggling to secure enough funds for further hurricane season needs, yet FEMA insists that no disaster response money has been diverted to migrant programs. Critics, including Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Donald Trump Jr., have condemned this spending, arguing that it detracts from the agency's primary mission to assist disaster victims. While FEMA has received recent congressional support, questions about its spending priorities persist amid the ongoing humanitarian crisis caused by the hurricane. As communities in North Carolina search for over 200 missing individuals, the focus on migrant aid has sparked a debate over government resource allocation.
