Migrants in NYC
 
The Trump administration has revoked $80 million in grants to New York City for housing migrants in shelters, said city Comptroller Brad Lander. Concretely, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) made the decision on Tuesday, taking back payments made last week that had been awarded during the Biden administration.

Lander described the action as "highway robbery" and said that, depending on the terms of the city's grant, it could be illegal. City Hall spokesperson Liz Garcia said the Eric Adams administration is exploring litigation options and conducting an internal investigation into the way the events unfolded. Administration officials requested an emergency meeting with the White House to get the funds back.


The retrieval took place after FEMA fired four officials following claims by Elon Musk that the agency had improperly allocated funds to house migrants in "luxury hotels" in New York City.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

FEMA funds are expected to be spent on helping Americans recover after significant acts of God; not to fund Joe Biden's Open Border Great Replacement.
