The Department of Homeland Security made a unilateral move and fired four Federal Emergency Management Agency employees, accusing the “deep state activists” of paying out $59 million to New York City hotels to help cover costs associated with the migrant crisis.
DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin told the Washington Examiner Tuesday morning that the federal department was parting ways with four government workers because they went around leadership to pay out tens of millions of dollars to New York City, where millions were spent housing illegal immigrants in luxury hotels in Manhattan.
“Effective immediately, FEMA is terminating the employment of four individuals for circumventing leadership to unilaterally make egregious payments for luxury NYC hotels for migrants,” McLaughlin wrote in a statement. “Firings include FEMA’s Chief Financial Officer, two program analysts, and a grant specialist.
“Under President Trump and Secretary Noem’s leadership, DHS will not sit idly and allow deep state activists to undermine the will and safety of the American people,” McLaughlin continued.
