Sen. Tillis accuses Noem of breaking federal law by delaying FEMA aid to North Carolina, threatening action if she doesn’t respond in two weeks.
Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) accused DHS Secretary Kristi Noem of potentially violating federal law by delaying FEMA disaster funds to North Carolina, citing a rule requiring her personal approval for spending over $100,000.
He criticized the slow disbursement of aid after Hurricane Helene, with only $92 million released of a $60 billion expected amount, and threatened to block Senate nominations and deny quorum unless she responds within two weeks.
The delay occurs amid a partial DHS shutdown and broader scrutiny of Noem’s leadership, including ICE operations and a controversial dog-killing incident.
Noem did not address the allegations during the hearing, and the Department of Homeland Security did not respond to requests for comment.
