The Biden-Harris administration announced on Wednesday that its handing out hundreds of millions in more funding to local and state governments dealing with the illegal immigration crisis.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is handing out more than $380 million through FEMA’s Shelter and Services Program (SSP) to communities across the country that are providing shelter, care and other services to illegal migrants and other foreign nationals that have recently been released from federal custody, the department announced in a press release. The additional allocation highlights the sheer amount of money the Biden-Harris administration is continuing to spend on migrants, despite a recent decline in unlawful border crossings.
“Through the SSP, DHS directly supports communities that are providing critical support such as food, shelter, clothing, acute medical care, and transportation to noncitizens recently released from DHS custody and awaiting their immigration court proceedings,” DHS stated.
“FEMA, in coordination with [Customs and Border Protection], is administering these SSP grants with state, local and tribal governments as well as nongovernmental organizations to help prevent the overcrowding of short-term CBP holding facilities,” the DHS statement continued.
The funding announced this week augments the nearly $260 million in SSP grants distributed in April 2024, according to DHS. The Biden-Harris administration awarded over $780 million through SSP and the Emergency Food and Shelter Program in fiscal year 2023 to various organizations and cities across the United States.
DHS also touted a “significant decline” in migrant encounters since President Joe Biden issued an executive order in June that cracks down on illegal border crossings. Border Patrol encounters in July dropped 32% from the previous month, marking the lowest monthly total along the U.S.-Mexico border since September 2020, according to DHS. […]
