End of migrant support program, funds redirected to immigration enforcement.

This act terminates the Shelter and Services Program for asylum seekers and migrants, previously run by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Funds allocated to this program will be redirected to immigration enforcement activities, including detentions and removals. This means that support for migrants will be limited, and public funds will be used to strengthen border control and immigration operations.
Key points
Termination of funding for FEMA's Shelter and Services Program for migrants.
Transfer of unspent funds from the FEMA program to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for enforcement, detention, and removal operations.
No federal funds will be authorized for similar programs in the future.
