    As Hurricane Florence threatens the East Coast, the Trump Administration quietly took $9.75 million out of the FEMA budget—and put it to pay for ICE concentration camps.

    Yes, more of the same concentration camps that have enforced the Trump Administration's child separation policy at the U.S.- Mexico border.

    This abomination of an administration is literally taking money away from programs that assist millions of Americans facing a hurricane to pay for its deeply unpopular & cruel practice of separating children from families.

    As Homeland Security noted: “without the transfers and reprogramming identified in this notification, ICE will not be able to fulfill its adult detention requirements in (fiscal year) 2018." Oh, the horror of it! No concentration camps in America? How will America ever survive?
    Is there one single patriotic American who doesn't find this policy totally and completely despicable, in the words of my favorite black duck?

    The money came from the FEMA operations and support budget and could not be used for hurricane relief because of budgeting limitations.

    Operations and support have nothing to do with relief operations? Boy your knowledge of corporate operations are rather limited it seems.

    This is not corporate operations. This government budgeting.

    Operations and maintenance means the money is used for maintenance of government equipment and facilities. When congress says that is how the money is to be used, it cannot be shifted to another use.

    Nothing funnier than watching Democrats whine about 9 million dollars when their hero sends 221 million dollars to the Palestinians on his last day. $221 for humanitarian effort. I guess Americans in failing schools couldn't have used that money. Charity begins at home but not with people who hate their home.

    No, the money came from the "Response and Recovery" portion of their budget.

    I had the name wrong. "The document, which was released by the office of Senator Jeff Merkley, of Oregon, shows that the money would come from FEMA’s operations and support budget "
    "The Department of Homeland Security denies that any money transferred came from FEMA’s disasters relief accounts, which pay for work related to hurricanes and other natural disasters."

    The problem is that million, billion and trillion all end in "illion" and they tend to be used interchangeably.

    "The nearly $10 million was taken from various places within FEMA, including training, preparedness and protection, and response and recovery operations."

    Question: why do Conservatives consistently refuse to use this same logic when it comes to government money going to Planned Parenthood that is not to go to abortions?

    No, he is not. If he were, he would be using the 3000 number officially adopted by the local government in PR.
