Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL ) reported that because the Federal Emergency Management Agency is short on resources due to its role in “immigration settlement,” he has spent time on a recovery-and-rescue mission to help bring items to the victims of Hurricane Helene.
” ]We’re ] delivering insulin and oxygen bottles. For a lot of people, it is not just food, waters, and nonperishables but it is drugs that they are small on. So we’re attempting to meet those requirements until the federal government may step up and carry out its duties, Mills told Fox News host Martha MacCallum on Wednesday.
Let’s go and say the obvious: FEMA should have used a large bulk of the employees who should be present to handle this to be replaced or repurposed for immigration relocation when we need to get focusing on American, whether it be in Maui, Palestine, Ohio, Florida, North Carolina, or Tennessee, Mills said.
In April 2024, the Department of Homeland Security, through FEMA and U. S. Customs and Border Protection, provided$ 300 million in grants to populations to resettle refugees.
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas stated to writers on Wednesday that FEMA is running out of funds for hurricane season.
” We are using the money we have to meet the urgent wants.” We are expecting another storms hitting”, Mayorkas said. FEMA is told, “FEMA does not have the money to get through this year.”
Mills has been working with secret organizations, including Mercury One, Universal Air, and Sentinel Foundation, to support storms victims and said the federal government is the “missing element” to rescue efforts.
Americans are uniting under a group project to respond to calls for action from the federal government, he continued.
Mills said he’s hearing unconfirmed reports of 1, 000 to 1, 200 missing persons in the hurricane fallout.
The Army veteran hopes that the missing persons document will be eliminated as SpaceX installs its Starlink systems to support the communications facilities in the damaged areas.

In March, Mills assisted in the evacuation of Americans from Haiti as the nation strewn into chaos, and in 2021, he assisted in various rescue operations to Afghanistan to keep stranded Americans.
FEMA contacted The Washington Examiner for opinion.
