NYC comptroller slams Trump for snatching back millions meant for city's migrant crisis
Briefly

City Comptroller Brad Lander is calling on Mayor Eric Adams to sue President Trump over the recent cancellation of $80 million in FEMA funding designated for housing migrants in New York City. Lander discovered that this action was taken without proper authority, which he describes as 'highway robbery.' Elon Musk, heading the Department of Government Efficiency under Trump's administration, suggested the cancellation was necessary due to a violation of the law. The situation escalated after FEMA terminated four employees for bypassing protocols to allocate funds for migrant housing at luxury hotels.
