Luxury hotels lose millions of the federal government that has already been paid to accommodate illegal migrants in New York City.
The Department of Homeland Security has the authority to withdraw the $ 59 million in funds that were distributed to the hotels last week by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
These four and five star hotels were paid by the government to house illegal immigrants against the recent executive orders of President Donald Trump.
But those funds are sent back to FEMA after a Clawback order has been issued this week, a DHS officer told DailyMail.com.
It comes after DHS secretary Kristi calls four top financing officers on FEMA this week for approving the payment, including FEMAs CFO Mary Comans.
“Secretary Name has reclaimed the full payment that FEMA Deep State assistants have unilaterally given NYC Migrant Hotels,” said DHS assistant -Secretary Tricia McLaughlin.
She added: “Not a single cent will be spent that is contrary to the interest and safety of the American people.”

A Clawback order is usually included a clause in a payment agreement that requires that the recipient of funds must return money or benefits after they had already been distributed.
This provision is used many times by employers, so that they can recover funds if they were distributed prematurely or inaccurately for work that was not completed or contracts that were not mandatory.
FEMA’s former Chief Financial Officer Mary Comans, two program analysts and a subsidy specialist were all fired this week after the Ministry of Government Efficiencyt by Elon Musk (Doge) unveiled the payment of the Housing Office in the Big Apple.
“FEMA effectively ends the employment of four people for circumventing leadership to make one -sided rewards for luxury NYC hotels for migrants,” McLaughlin DaiYMail.com said in a statement on Tuesday.
Comans and her team are perhaps the most powerful group at FEMA because they control his billions of dollars in financing.
