FEMA funds accommodation for illegal immigrants in hotels.
Infact verdict: False (15/100).
The claim that FEMA directly uses its funds to provide accommodation for illegal immigrants in hotels is misleading. FEMA manages a program funded by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which reimburses state and local governments or nonprofit organizations for support services to migrants. The funding comes from separate allocations and is not directly related to FEMA's Disaster Relief Fund. FEMA's primary focus remains on disaster relief for U.S. citizens.

FEMA is using its funds to provide accommodation for illegal immigrants in hotels.
FEMA manages a program, but the funds used are from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, not FEMA's Disaster Relief Fund. The program reimburses governments and nonprofits; the money doesn't directly go to immigrants or hotels from FEMA.
