Fact Check: Did Biden-Harris Migrant Spending Drain FEMA Hurricane Budget?

Former President Donald Trump's campaign doubled down Friday on claims that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) had run out of money to help those hit by Hurricane Helene because of the Biden administration's spending on services for migrants.

The concerns about FEMA's cash flow came after Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said on Wednesday that the agency would struggle for funding for the rest of the hurricane season.

Republicans, including Texas Governor Greg Abbott, then claimed that over $640 million had been spent by FEMA on migrants when it could have been used to plug the funding gap.
