The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), under the Department of Homeland Security, misdirected $59 million allocated for disaster relief. The funds were used instead to house illegal migrants in luxury hotels in New York City, a move that has sparked widespread criticism.

Critics argue that the money should have gone to citizens in need of emergency support, as initially intended. The misuse has drawn attention from high-profile figures, including Elon Musk's D.O.G.E., calling for a clawback of the funds to ensure appropriate allocation.

This incident has raised questions about oversight and accountability within FEMA, as well as broader concerns regarding the management of public funds.
