President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has created a “Rumor Response” webpage to claim that the agency is not diverting disaster relief money to newly released migrants from the United States-Mexico border.
While Americans in Appalachia suffer the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, FEMA is using its resources to set up a “Hurricane Rumor Response” webpage on its website where officials purport to debunk various claims.
Among the rumors that FEMA officials are responding to is one that has caught the attention of everyday Americans as well as elected officials — that the federal agency has spent hundreds of thousands on aiding migrants arriving at the nation’s southern border.
“Rumor: Funding for FEMA disaster response was diverted to support international efforts or border-related issues,” the webpage reads before stating:
Fact: This is false. No money is being diverted from disaster response needs. FEMA’s disaster response efforts and individual assistance is funded through the Disaster Relief Fund, which is a dedicated fund for disaster efforts. Disaster Relief Fund money has not been diverted to other, non-disaster related efforts.
