(The National Pulse)—The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) says it will fire the individual—or individuals—responsible for paying $59 million to New York City for illegal immigrant housing in contravention of an executive order issued by President Donald J. Trump. According to the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which revealed the illegal payments on Monday, one of the hotels receiving the FEMA money is the Roosevelt Hotel, which the Pakistani government owns through the state-run Pakistani Airlines.
“Individuals who circumvented leadership and unilaterally made this payment will be fired and held accountable,” DHS spokesman Tricia McLaughlin said, responding to the revelations posted on X (formerly Twitter) by DOGE chief Elon Musk.
The money given by FEMA is just a small percentage of the overall cash spent to house migrants in luxury New York City hotels. According to reports last July, hotel bosses in the city have amassed over a billion dollars by converting their properties into migrant shelters.
In total, New York City has spent over $4.8 billion on the illegal migrant influx, with just under $2 billion spent on housing.
DOGE, under Musk’s direction, has spearheaded an effort to identify and cut $2 trillion from the $7 trillion federal budget. So far, the agency’s work has resulted in an order placing nearly all USAID staff on leave and a buyout offer, authorized by President Trump, to all federal workers granting several months of paid leave in exchange for their voluntary resignation.
