FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell criticized former President Donald Trump for spreading false information about disaster relief funding for Hurricane Helene's recovery. Trump inaccurately asserted that FEMA's disaster relief funds were depleting due to their allocation for illegal immigration efforts. Criswell labeled the accusations as frankly ridiculous and just plain false. FEMA's official statements, alongside fact-checks from other agencies, reaffirmed that no disaster relief money is being misallocated.
