Donald Trump has dramatically fired officials in charge of finances at the government's disaster relief agency FEMA after they put up migrants in 5-star hotels.
FEMA's Chief Financial Officer Mary Comans lost her job after it was revealed the agency paid an 'egregious' sum of $59 million to luxury hotels in New York City to house illegal immigrants.
Three others involved in dishing out the shocking payments also lost their jobs, a Department of Homeland Security official disclosed to DailyMail.com.

“Border czar” Tom Homan, who oversees President Trump’s mass deportation program, shot back at Pope Francis after he chastised the administration’s approach to immigration enforcement.
“I’ve got harsh words for the Pope,” Homan told reporters at the White House on Tuesday. “Pope ought to fix the Catholic Church.”
“I’m saying this as a lifelong Catholic — I was baptized Catholic, my first Communion as a Catholic, confirmation as a Catholic. He ought to fix the Catholic Church and concentrate on his work and leave border enforcement to us,” he continued.
Homan noted the Vatican, where the pope resides, is walled in.
“He wants to attack us securing our border?

Four Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) employees will be fired Tuesday for sending $59 million to New York City to house and care for illegal migrants, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
“Four employees are being fired today for circumventing leadership and unilaterally making the egregious payment for hotels for migrants in New York City,” DHS officials told Fox News in a statement.
The massive payment was blasted by Elon Musk, whose new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) highlighted the transaction on Monday.
Tom Homan confirmed that a series of leaks related to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations may have originated within the FBI.

Rep. Richard Hudson (R-NC) on Tuesday unveiled legislation that would protect Medicaid to ensure that the entitlement program can only be used by Americans, not illegal aliens.

David Hogg, the new vice chairman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), has had enough of Elon Musk’s ceaseless efforts to drain the swamp in Washington, DC, and restore accountability to those who have stewardship of U.S. taxpayer dollars.
He took to social media on Friday to decry Musk and point to the man he wants to replace him. Step forward former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
The DNC elected Hogg as vice chair this past weekend, lauding the 24-year-old as “one of the most compelling voices” of his generation.

Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., laid out the misuse of taxpayer money funding "gender-affirming care" for animals during opening remarks at a subcommittee hearing Thursday. The hearing, "Transgender Lab Rats and Poisoned Puppies: Oversight of Taxpayer Funded Animal Cruelty," featured a witness from the White Coat Waste Project.
"Last year, the White Coat Waste Project exposed more than $10 million in taxpayer funds that were spent creating transgender mice, rats and monkeys," Mace said. "These DEI grants funded painful and deadly transgender experiments that forced lab animals to undergo
A small Philadelphia corner grocery store is the scene of yet another example of squandered taxpayer money. In this case, “nearly $2 million” in food benefits meant for the hungry went to one person.
Store owner Jenny Espinal Tejada, 34, was sentenced this week to 18 months in prison. She must pay more than $1.8 million in restitution and forfeit “the proceeds of her offenses, for defrauding the U.S. government,” according to a press release from the Eastern District of Pennsylvania’s U.S. Attorney’s Office. Espinal Tejada “pleaded guilty in October to one count of wire fraud and one count of defrauding the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program” (SNAP).

What a rock-block. An award-winning UK scientist warns that it might be too late to deflect the “city killer” asteroid that’s headed toward Earth. Deflection efforts “might not be able to stop 2024 YR4,” cautioned Dr. Robin George Andrews, a London-based volcanologist and author, in a chilling X post blowing up online. Discovered hurtling through our galaxy in December 2024, the building-sized space rock is reportedly at the top of NASA’s watch list when it comes to deep space dangers, boasting a 1-in-43 chance of striking Earth in 2032.

We've been seeing a pretty amazing move to make over the government over the last three weeks since President Donald Trump has taken office.[Snip] Now, there's a follow-up action in Congress with the House Oversight Committee naming Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) to head the new "Task Force on Declassification of Federal Secrets." Luna announced that they would be looking into UFOs, the Jeffrey Epstein client list, JFK, RFK, and MLK, as well as the origins of COVID-19 and the 9/11 files.

The categories whistleblowers can report include "retaliation," "wasteful spending," "fraud," "criminal activity," and "other."
"Today, I’m calling on our brave public servants," the Senate Minority Leader wrote as he shared the tipline form on X.
Interference in another country's internal affairs?
Sure, if you're the Vatican, or more specifically, the Vatican's big umbrella NGO of NGOs known as Caritas, whose U.S. arms include Catholic Charities and Catholic Relief Services.
According to the Associated Press:
VATICAN CITY -- The Vatican's charity said Monday that U.S. plans to gut USAID were “reckless” and could kill millions, while Pope Francis’ point man on development urged the Trump administration to remember Christian principles about caring for others.
Cardinal Michael Czerny, a Czech-born Canadian Jesuit, is one of the cardinals most closely associated with Francis’ pontificate and heads the Vatican office responsible for migrants, the environment, the church’s Caritas Internationalis charity and development.
$50 to $100 billion a year, that is how much has already been identified by the White House’s Department of Government Efficiency through a review of Treasury payments as likely fraud. This amount is nothing more than identifying how much is paid monthly to recipients who don’t have a Social Security number or other government identification attached to their files.[Snip] It is surprising that the various systems that are in place to ostensibly prevent fraud failed so spectacularly, and it is fair to wonder if some of those in charge of them were part of the steal?

NASA is training humanity’s most powerful telescope on a “city-killing” asteroid to determine whether or not we need to brace for deep impact.
Dubbed 2024 YR4, the building-sized space rock reportedly has a 1-in-43 chance of slamming into Earth in 2032 — up from about 1%, the Independent reported.
