Former press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told the press it was "categorically false" that the Biden administration was using FEMA money to house illegal immigrants. Elon Musk begged to disagree, posing Monday that DOGE had discovered that FEMA had spent $59 million in THE PREVIOUS WEEK to put up illegal immigrants in luxury hotels in New York City. "A clawback demand will be made today to recoup those funds," he added.
FEMA Chief Financial Officer Mary Comans has reportedly been fired.
BREAKING: This is Big. Senior DHS Official has just confirmed to me that FEMA’s Chief Financial Officer Mary Comans was just fired for illegally funding migrant luxury hotels in NYC against the orders of President Trump.

“Effective immediately, FEMA is terminating the employment of four individuals for circumventing leadership to unilaterally make egregious payments for luxury NYC hotels for migrants. 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.”

She should be charged. Not just fired.

Minimum 10 years in prison. If we did it, we would.

She has to be held accountable. Jail.

If this was a regular person in a regular company the punishment would be much worse than being fired.

Here's a welcome video featuring Comans in which she says "FEMA's mission is to help people before, during, and after disasters." Joe Biden's open border was a disaster, but we don't think that counts. That money was intended for citizens.
NEW: Trump has fired FEMA's CFO Mary Comans after she allegedly paid $59 million to hotels in New York City housing illegal immigrants, according to the Daily Mail.

"Effective immediately, FEMA is terminating the employment of four individuals for circumventing leadership to unilaterally make egregious payments for luxury NYC hotels for migrants," said Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin.
"Firings include FEMA's Chief Financial Officer, two program analysts and a grant specialist."
We need government hearings RIGHT NOW.

How were they allowed to get away with this for years?
Again, that $59 million was spent just last week alone.
I want DOGE in there identifying all of the corruption

She MUST be charged. An example must be set, or this will continue across the federal government.
— Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) February 11, 2025
These people are convinced they’re martyrs.
They need a wake up call.
Charge her to the full extent of the law.

When are the indictments going to be announced?
— Timothy Kashin (@TJKashin) February 11, 2025
As much as people want to see her locked up, chances are a firing is all that will happen to her. She should be sentenced to live in a tent in North Carolina.
