Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas faces a new firestorm after a watchdog report disputed his claims that FEMA doesn’t have the funding to withstand the remainder of hurricane season.
However, the DHS’ Inspector General released a report in August saying the agency has billions in unliquidated funds.
“A DHS inspector general report found over $7 billion in unliquidated FEMA funds, contradicting Secretary Mayorkas’ recent statement that FEMA lacked funds for future disasters. The funds, earmarked for disasters from 2012 or earlier, could be returned to FEMA’s Disaster Relief Fund, as Hurricane Milton approaches Florida,” Mario Nawfal wrote.
