/1⚠️MISPLACED PRIORITIES —

Over the last 4 years the Biden-Harris admin has steadily transformed FEMA — the agency responsible for responding to natural disasters like Hurricane Helene — into an illegal alien resettlement agency that emphasizes DEI over public safety.

THREAD: Image
/2 The Shelter and Services Program is designed to exclusively provide shelter and services to illegal aliens. 

Over $1 BILLION in taxpayer dollars have been allocated between FY2023 and FY2024.
Image
Image
/3 For example, of that $1 billion, FEMA gave over $38 million to NYC – a sanctuary city overrun by illegal aliens.

NYC, in turn, is handing out gift cards and hotels to illegal aliens. Image
/4 Moreover, the Emergency Food and Shelter Program has been reshaped to provide funding to “families and individuals encountered by the Department of Homeland Security” – aka illegal aliens.

This is a SEPARATE program. 

$685 MILLION has been allocated to fund illegal aliens.
Image
Image
/5 Beyond allocating billions of taxpayer dollars on illegal aliens, the agency has been entirely captured by the "equity" agenda – a euphemism for discrimination.

The #1 goal of their strategic plan is to “Instill Equity as a Foundation of Emergency Management.” Image
/6 For example, one of their initiatives to address “equity” is “Prioritizing casework and evaluation for direct housing eligibility for vulnerable populations to include those with access and functional needs or those who have a primary language other than English.” Image
/7 They even went so far as to publish a “Post-Disaster Guide for Local Officials and Leaders” in November 2023 for “Achieving Equitable Recovery.”

In other words, they are pushing their equity agenda on states and locals as a way of reshaping communities affected by disasters. Image
/8 In the “Summary of Eight Equity Goals” within the guide, they advocate for “equitable outcomes” and “rebuilt community ‘with justice for all.’”

Effectively, FEMA is factoring race, sex, and sexual preferences into who should receive disaster relief first. Image
/9 The guide outlines how to “Track and Evaluate Equity Outcomes,” including asking officials to consider if people are receiving “recovery resources” based on “distributive justice.”

“Distributive justice” is just the radical way of saying discrimination based on race and sex. Image
/10 One of the guide’s goals outlines how to “Overcome Barriers and Ensure Fair Recovery Outcomes" and includes a chart of "barriers to equity," including:

-Burnout 
-Hate crimes
-Political polarization
-Power disparities
-Bias Image
/11 FEMA also identified “People of color,” “Women,” and “The LGBTQ+ community” as “disproportionately impacted by disaster.”

According to the Biden-Harris administration, natural disasters don't have the same impact on white straight men. Image
/12 In summary, the Biden-Harris FEMA views disaster response as an opportunity to propel their radical "equity" agenda and further resettle and support millions of illegal aliens within the U.S.

The American people are paying for all of it. Image

🚨MAJOR VICTORY🚨

AFL and @KenPaxtonTX just secured a federal court order PERMANENTLY ENDING an illegal Biden-era backdoor amnesty program that allowed immigration judges to indefinitely freeze removal proceedings against illegal aliens. Image
Today, AFL and @TXAG filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas challenging the Biden Department of Justice’s “Administrative Closure Rule,” which allowed immigration judges to indefinitely pause immigration court cases against illegal aliens.
@TXAG The same day the lawsuit was filed, the parties reached a settlement, and the court entered a final consent judgment vacating the rule and permanently enjoining its enforcement.

An illegal rule that allowed illegal aliens to remain in the United States indefinitely is now dead.

🚨NEW: Ninth Circuit Grants Preliminary Injunction Blocking California’s Child Transition Secrecy Law

America First Legal and @SchaerrJaffeLlp just secured a huge win for parental rights — vindicating the rights of families fighting against California’s radical attempt to hide children’s “gender transitions” from parents.Image
2/ In City of Huntington Beach v. Newsom, the Ninth Circuit entered a preliminary injunction blocking key provisions of AB 1955.

This law forced schools to keep parents in the dark about their child’s sexual orientation, “gender identity,” or gender expression — unless the child consented. California tried to insert the State between parents and their kids.
3/ The court, reconsidering in light of the Supreme Court’s landmark Mirabelli v. Bonta decision, held that Plaintiff-Parents “very likely have standing” and that parents — not the State — have primary authority over the upbringing and education of their children.

🚨BREAKING — New documents obtained by AFL reveal Biden’s DOJ weaponized federal law enforcement against parents at school board meetings despite warnings from FBI officials and the National Sheriffs’ Association. Image
AFL obtained the documents from the U.S. Department of Justice in its ongoing lawsuit over Attorney General Merrick Garland’s infamous October 4, 2021 memorandum targeting concerned parents at school board meetings.
On October 4, 2021 — the day the memo was released — FBI Deputy Assistant Director Jay Greenberg emailed the Office of the Deputy Attorney General, stating the FBI had “some concern.”

He requested “additional time to engage” before messaging about the infamous memo went out. Image

Judge John McConnell just issued a sweeping ruling blocking Trump’s immigration and asylum policies.

This is the same judge AFL exposed for failing to recuse from the Trump spending freeze case — despite previously leading a nonprofit that received $128M in federal funding.

🧵 Image
Judge McConnell served 18 years on the board of Crossroads Rhode Island.

His nonprofit received $128 million in government funding during that time.
Last year, Judge McConnell blocked President Trump’s spending freeze.

His nonprofit stood to receive millions more following his ruling to keep federal funds flowing through one of the plaintiff states.

DEI DEFEATED🚨

AFL challenged a Biden-era DEI framework embedded in a federal kidney transplant program. 

The Trump Administration just dismantled it.

No American should ever be denied a transplant because of their race. Image
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services just published a final rule stripping the Biden Administration’s DEI framework from the Increasing Organ Transplant Access (IOTA) Model.

One of the most aggressive attempts to inject race into organ transplantation is gone. Image
The IOTA Model was part of Biden’s “sweeping equity agenda” to confront the “unbearable human costs of systemic racism.”

It directed hospitals to create “Health Equity Plans” that sorted patients by race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status and implemented race-based interventions to alter transplant outcomes.

In a system where every organ can mean life or death, Biden’s answer was DEI.Image
