New York Post — Four Federal 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, whose 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 — and promised DOGE would be making “a clawback demand … to recoup those funds.”
Cameron Hamilton, FEMA’s acting administrator, said in response that FEMA had suspended payments sent to New York City to house migrants beginning on Monday.
New York City Hall officials have said they have not been notified of any pause in funding and that no one has contacted them regarding Musk’s clawback demand.

Soooo . . . if it takes only 4 of them to authorize $59M worth of payouts, I wonder how much I can get a check for if I could make a friend with just 1 of their employees?
If money flows out of agencies to this level, at the hands of so few, wouldn’t it be prudent to keep peeking under the rocks? Seems to be a LOT of critters that need capturing underneath.
Good
where are all the people now claiming that Musk was lying?
Good, get those fuckers out of there
That shouldn’t be the end of their punishment, they should be looking at the very least two years in prison
Everyone is mad because the government is being audited with assistance from Elon Musk. That is VERY ODD! Wanting to see how the goverment is wasting MONEY is now a bad thing. THIS IS VERY ODD!
I’d love to see some evidence beyond musk claiming something
But then again, I don’t trust billionaires to be acting in our good.
Thank god🙏🏼
