There's been a bunch of disinformation from the usual suspects on the subject of hurricanes and FEMA funding lately.
One popular claim is that the Biden Admin has been using FEMA money for migrants, but, in actuality, the $ they spent on migrant services came out of the Border Patrol's budget & the GOP is currently the main obstacle to additional FEMA funding.
Intellectually minded people on both sides of the aisle can see through this spin and deception but there is more to this story. As usual with Trump and MAGA, accusations are often tacit confessions. It's a cute game.
Turns out Trump diverted 155m in FEMA funds to immigrants in 2019.

The Trump administration plans to shift at least $155 million from the Federal Emergency Management Agency disaster relief fund to support its policy of returning some migrants to Mexico.
