The Biden-Harris administration took more than a billion tax dollars that had been allocated to the agency responsible for American disaster relief and used it to offer services for illegal immigrants.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) allocated nearly $364 million in the fiscal year 2023 and $650 million for the 2024 fiscal year to the “Shelter and Services Program” “to provide humanitarian services to noncitizen migrants following their release from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS),” according to the government’s website.
The program is run in cooperation with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) “to support CBP in the safe, orderly and humane release of noncitizen migrants from short-term holding facilities,” FEMA’s website reads.
An anonymous X account highlighted the program after MSNBC pundit Michael Steele sought to portray former President Donald Trump as the commander-in-chief who denied Americans full relief from catastrophic weather events.
“In case folks forgot what Trump did to FEMA’s relief fund,” Steele wrote to frame a post about the former president pulling $271 million from DHS to detain migrants. The NBC article featured in Steele’s post said U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) pulled $155 million directly from FEMA’s Disaster Relief Fund, just a fraction of the resources used by the Biden-Harris administration to care for illegal border crossers.
FEMA’s top priorities under the incumbent administration, meanwhile, do not include disaster relief among the top two goals of the emergency services agency. According to FEMA’s own website, the stated goals include, first, instilling “equity as a foundation of emergency management,” and second, “lead[ing] whole of community in climate resilience.” The goal to “promote and sustain a ready FEMA and prepared nation” ranks third.
Now, residents across the southeastern United States are suffering from the administration’s misplaced priorities, which place “equity” and “climate resilience” ahead of emergency preparedness. While FEMA routinely prepares for colossal rescue operations with resources lined up in the days ahead of major storms, such pre-staged support was clearly not available to residents in the Appalachian towns that were washed away by overwhelming rains from Hurricane Helene. Hundreds remain missing as the storm becomes the Biden administration’s “Katrina moment.”

Will Ferrell says he regrets taking his transgender friend to a Texas steakhouse after she was booed for interrupting people's dinner with remarks about a trans law.
Ferrell told The New York Times it was a 'bad choice' to bring former SNL writer Harper Steele to The Big Texan in Amarillo to film their Netflix documentary Will & Harper.
Steele said: 'We gave a little toast, and I said something about passing a trans bill, and the room kind of did a reversal and a bit of a boo and a woman shouted out "We still love you." I hate the phrase.'
Recalling her remarks in greater detail, Steele added: 'I'm from Iowa but I will raise a glass to your great state of Texas. I wish you guys would do more for trans rights in this state.'
It is unclear what bill Steele was referring to, with Texas cracking down on transgender women in sports and banning trans people from changing their gender on state documents including driving licenses.
Steele said she interpreted the woman's response as suggesting she 'stop being trans and give her life to Christ'. But the woman in question wasn't asked to comment further, with that moment cut from the finished show.
Steele also claimed she'd have gotten a better reception in her home state of Iowa - although legislators there have passed a slew of anti-trans bills similar to those in Texas.
Ferrell said 'the vibes were so off' in The Big Texan after he arrived with his transgender guest in March 2023 while himself dressed as Sherlock Holmes.
He told the Times that he regrets bringing Steele there. But the Anchorman star didn't explain why he'd taken Steele to the steakhouse in the first place.
