House Republicans have opened a probe into the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Emergency Food and Shelter Program (EFSP) due to allegations that funds are being illegally used to facilitate illegal immigration.

The investigation is being spearheaded by House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.), Subcommittee on National Security, the Border, and Foreign Affairs Chairman Glenn Grothman (R-Wis.), and Rep. Jake LaTurner (R-Kan.).
