"This is a scandal": Homeland Security transferred $10 million from FEMA to immigrant detention centers
With hurricane season setting in the United States and monster Hurricane Florence fast approaching the Carolinas, Oregon Senator Jeff Merkley, has released disturbing documents which reveal that the Trump administration transferred nearly $10 million from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) earlier this year to fund immigrants detention centers.
The Democrat lawmaker shared the documents with MSNBC on Tuesday stating that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) requested the money for deportation efforts for its new 'zero tolerance' immigration policy "just as hurricane season [was] starting." The controversial Trump administration immigration policy received worldwide condemnation as it resulted in the separation of thousands of migrant children from their parents.
