The Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General found that some of the $110 million from the American Rescue Plan for migrants encountered at the southern border was misspent by nonprofits.
In some cases, it was given to illegal immigrants who had evaded Border Patrol.
The report outlines how the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) awarded $110 million in humanitarian relief funds appropriated under ARPA to "provide services to families and individuals encountered by DHS in communities most impacted by the humanitarian crisis at the Southwest border."
As of the time of the audit, $80 million had been awarded to 25 organizations in border states, and the IG reviewed $12.9 million in spending.
