(Portland, OR) -- The Department of Homeland Security is confirming Senator Jeff Merkley's accusation that President Trump siphoned money from FEMA to fund ICE arrests. The Washington Post reports that Merkley made public a Homeland Security document Tuesday which details the reallocation of nearly ten-million dollars in public funds. The money reportedly came from FEMA programs aimed at preparation, response and recovery associated with hurricanes. A DHS tweet confirmed the reallocation but said it did not affect emergency response.
