Reallocate FEMA funds for disaster relief, not detention facilities

To: Rep. Jack, Sen. Ossoff, Pres. Trump, Sen. Warnock

From: A verified voter in Brooks, GA

July 28

FEMA aiming to allocate $608 million for states to construct immigrant detention facilities profoundly contradicts their humanitarian mission. This diversion follows the administration's recent $1 billion cut to FEMA's disaster relief budget, depleting resources for emergency response. Prioritizing funds for detention centers over disaster preparedness endangers vulnerable communities facing increasingly severe natural disasters. This misalignment of priorities exacerbates human suffering and undermines our nation's commitment to protecting all people irrespective of immigration status. A reallocation of these funds towards bolstering FEMA's core emergency services is warranted to uphold moral and ethical principles.
