Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has warned that it has run out of funding at the beginning of America’s hurricane season. Last month, the agency testified before Congress that it still has $4 billion in its Disaster Relief Fund, then claimed that Hurricane Helene wiped through the budget. The agency has been begging Congress to approve additional funding, but a new report found that FEMA has at least $8.3 billion in unused funds.

“They stole the FEMA money, just like they stole it from a bank, so they could give it to their illegal immigrants that they want to have vote for them this season,” former President Donald Trump said. FEMA was indeed tasked with providing money to Customs and Border Protection back in 2022 to help communities overrun with illegal migrants. In fact, FEMA provided $640 million in grants to Customs and Border Protection in 2024 alone, and spent $364 on the migrant crisis in 2023. This is merely one of countless programs misusing federal funds on non-citizens.

FEMA still has $4.5 billion in frozen unused funds from Hurricane Sandy that hit 12 years ago, yet the deadline for this project was extended into 2026. Officials continue to extend deadlines and freeze funds with no clear indication as to why. Jeremy Portnoy of OpenTheBooks, a nonpartisan watchdog of government spending, claims that “all the money is just sitting there.” He has stated that FEMA is freezing “unliquidated obligations” at a time when it could easily reappoint those funds for immediate disaster relief.
