Four Federral Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) employees will be fired Tuesday for sending $59 million to New York City to house and care for illegal migrants, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
“Four employees are being fired today for circumventing leadership and unilaterally making the egregious payment for hotels for migrants in New York City,” DHS officials told Fox News in a statement.
The massive payment was blasted by Elon Musk, who’s 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.
“A clawback demand will be made today to recoup those funds,” he added.
