FEMA to revoke $188M in New York City migrant grants

() The Federal Emergency Management Agency plans to revoke more than $180 million in grants from New York City, claiming the city’s program for sheltering migrants “is not consistent” with Department of Homeland Security policies.

On Tuesday, Mayor Eric Adams announced FEMA would claw back another $106 million from the city on top of the roughly $80 million taken in February on similar concerns.

In part, the letter from FEMA’s acting director, Cameron Hamilton, said the city’s grant use supports or has the potential to support “illegal immigration through funding illegal activities or support for illegal aliens that is not consistent with DHS’s enforcement.”

Adams said the funds would have been used to reimburse the city for its care of asylum-seekers.

The money is part of the Shelter and Services Program and was appropriated by Congress, according to affiliate WPIX. The program is intended to help local governments and nongovernmental organizations provide services for migrants.

“Like their previous actions clawing back appropriated funds, these steps are unlawful, and the New York City Law Department is currently determining the best legal recourse to take to ensure that this money remains in New York City, where it was allocated and belongs,” Adams said in a statement.

The city filed a lawsuit challenging FEMA’s seizure of funds in February, and it has 30 days to file an objection against the latest round of revoked funding.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.
