CBP Official Charged with FEMA Fraud and Lying to Federal Agents

Serina Baker-Hill, a senior CBP director, allegedly misused disaster aid funds and provided false statements during the investigation.

Serina Baker-Hill, a 55-year-old director at CBP, is accused of defrauding FEMA following Detroit's 2023 floods.
Baker-Hill claimed she could not safely reside in her home during repairs, securing disaster relief funds, including rental assistance.
Investigators found no evidence the FEMA funds were used for rent, hotel stays, or utilities, contradicting her claims.
Surveillance footage and utility records indicated Baker-Hill and her husband continued living in their home after receiving aid.
Baker-Hill denied any wrongdoing during interviews but now faces federal charges of fraud and lying to investigators.
