The Department of Homeland Security is scrapping thousands of Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) contracts after billions of dollars in waste and fraud were found.
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) found FEMA spending on inflated contracts, duplicate services and programs it called fraudulent or unnecessary. In response, DHS is moving to cancel the contracts and boost oversight. The Daily Caller obtained a sample of the contracts flagged by DOGE.
“Any American who opened the books at FEMA and saw their lackluster spending controls and policies would be horrified,” a FEMA spokesperson told the Caller. “Secretary [Kristi] Noem has been an extraordinary leader, bringing spending best practices, fiscal responsibility, and mission alignment to an agency that has run amok for far too long.”
Nearly $10.7 million went to the Ready Campaign’s media deliverables for public safety announcements, while another $3.3 million funded internal marketing meant to cajole FEMA employees into completing an annual survey.
