Original Note:
This headline is inaccurate. Congress appropriated funds for sheltering migrants separately from the Disaster Relief Fund. https://www.newsweek.com/fema-migrant-funding-hurricane-disaster-relief-1963336 https://www.fema.gov/grants/preparedness/shelter-services-program/fy-23-faqs https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/2617 It would be unlawful for FEMA to divert funds that Congress earmarked for sheltering migrants toward disaster relief. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/31/1301
