The claim: Biden administration spent FEMA hurricane relief money on ‘illegals’​

An Oct. 2 Facebook post (direct link, archive link) claims President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris redirected funds meant for disaster relief.

“Kamala and Biden spent the (Federal Emergency Management Agency) emergency money on housing and caring for illegals. They now are not prepared for the current hurricane damage,” the post's text states.

Similar versions of the claim were amplified by former President Donald Trump, billionaire Elon Musk and Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan.

False​

FEMA and a White House spokesperson both said the claim is false. It conflates the agency's disaster relief fund with a separate program that helps homeless people. The money provided by Congress for the disaster relief fund must be used for that purpose, and any other use is against the law.
