AllSides Media Bias Rating: Center
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has responded to "false" claims that money being spent on illegal migrants should be spent on disaster relief funds in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.
This week, Republicans, including Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Donald Trump Jr., took issue with $640 million of FEMA funding allocated for assisting migrants after Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas' said that FEMA was "meeting the immediate needs with the money that we have," while adding that the agency did not have enough funding to make it through another hurricane this season.
