End FEMA Benefits for Illegal Immigrants Act
This bill specifically targets the "Shelter and Services Program (SSP)" administered by FEMA.
- It would prohibit FEMA from awarding grants under this program, which provides funds to non-federal entities (like NGOs and local governments) that offer shelter and other services to illegal aliens after they have been released from DHS custody.
- The explicit aim is to stop federal funds from being used to support services for illegal aliens.
