NYC sues after Trump admin claws back $80M migrant housing grant
Fox News
New York City filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration on Friday seeking to claw back more than $80 million previously sent to the city to house migrants.
The funding had been revoked after Elon Musk claimed that the Department of Government Efficiency found a $59 million FEMA payment to New York City that was being used on luxury hotels to house illegal migrants. Trump later repeated Musk's claim and argued that "massive fraud" was happening. Michael Dorgan is a writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business.
New York City was awarded two separate grants during the Biden administration – one for $58.6 million and another for $21.9 million – as the city attempted to pay to house migrants, many of whom were sent by Texas officials who were frustrated with the Biden administration's handling of the influx of migrants entering the U.S. through the southern border.
