Yeah, ummmm ... keep some cash on you.

EDIT: Chris Hayes has this issue on his show !!

The bank is CiTiBank ... LIKE WTF !! The comptroller said they ***DID*** used a front account (smartly) and were charged for negative balance ...

This is freakin crazy, it wasn't done with his notice or procedure AFTER 5 days !! Do ... NOT ... trust money the feds give you now.



If DOGE can do this for no good reasons to NYC the average person doesn't have a chance

this shit is about to get rough

Lander questioned whether the move was legal, saying he had never seen a case where someone was “authorized to come into your bank accounts and take it back because of shifting political winds.”

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem wrote on X that she “has clawed back the full payment that FEMA deep state activists unilaterally gave to NYC migrant hotels.”

A federal judge ruled Wednesday that the administration can continue efforts to withhold the FEMA money from the city. U.S. District Judge John McConnell in Rhode Island said that money was not subject to an order, still in effect, aimed at preventing an administration pause on federal funding.
