FEMA used its funds to house illegal immigrants in hotels.
The claim that FEMA used its funds to house illegal immigrants in hotels is false. FEMA's Disaster Relief Fund was not used for this purpose; instead, the program was funded by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The Shelter and Services Program, administered by FEMA, provides grants to non-federal entities for support services for immigrants, but it is not illegal use of funds as suggested.

FEMA used its funds to house illegal immigrants in hotels.
Evidence from multiple sources indicates that FEMA did not directly fund housing for illegal immigrants in hotels. The funds in question were from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, not FEMA's Disaster Relief Fund. Claims of illegal spending are inaccurate.
