    Thank you for your service. I confess I did not read the article carefully. I see it is congress that holds a fair bit of responsibility for this situation. It is interesting to note that some of those who voted against extending funding to FEMA represent states that were hard hit by Helene.

      Did they vote against extending funding to FEMA for immigrant support, or did they vote against extending funding for disaster relief?

      One thing this article makes clear is that funding to FEMA is not a monolith.
