House GOP Investigates FEMA Funding Priorities Amid Migrant Spending Concerns

Republicans question Homeland Security's allocation of resources as FEMA warns of potential disaster relief shortfalls.

House Republicans are pressing DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for clarity on FEMA's funding allocations, especially concerning disaster relief and migrant support.
The inquiry follows Mayorkas's warning that FEMA may lack sufficient funds to cover the entire hurricane season despite having immediate resources.
Lawmakers are concerned about the Biden administration's spending priorities, highlighting the need for transparency in funding requests for disaster relief versus migrant services.
FEMA and DHS have clarified that funds for disaster relief and migrant support are kept separate, but Republicans remain worried about overall resource prioritization.
The House Homeland Security Committee has requested access to internal documents to scrutinize funding decisions, with a response deadline set for October 25.
