Original Note:
FEMA cannot "redirect" those funds. "It is illegal for funding that is appropriated by Congress for one purpose to be diverted and used for another purpose." The funds FEMA has been allocated for the purpose of sheltering/serving migrants are separate from its disaster funds. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/false-claims-fema-disaster-funds-migrants-pushed-trump-rcna173955
