FIRST ON FOX: Republicans on the House Homeland Security Committee are investigating the Department of Homeland Security's "priorities" for its request for funding from Congress, amid an ongoing controversy over spending on illegal migrants and disaster relief.
"The Committee on Homeland Security…is investigating [DHS’] prioritization of its ability to adequately respond to natural disasters," lawmakers on the committee said in a letter to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
The letter comes after Mayorkas, amid hurricanes in North Carolina and Florida, warned that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) does not have stable funding for the hurricane season, although he stressed that they do have enough for immediate needs. The administration has urged Congress to pass a supplemental spending bill.
