DOJ investigating NYC hotels using as migrant shelters

A really interesting report has surfaced this week regarding the operation of hotels in New York City being used as migrant hotels.

If the reports are accurate, it would mean that the Biden administration, contrary to what it claims, was using FEMA money to pay for the care of illegal immigrants.

Even more interesting is that it appears to have been funneling money to Pakistan to help the country avoid defaulting on its debt.

Shut Them Down

New York City was using several hotels to house illegal immigrants for the last few years, including the iconic Roosevelt Hotel, which once housed celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe and Montgomery Clift.

I actually stayed in this hotel decades ago, which is why the story caught my eye when I read that migrants were staying there. It was expensive back then, so I cannot imagine what the rack rate was before it started to house the migrants.

New York City paid the hotel a reported $220 million to serve as a shelter for illegal immigrants.

It was also reported that the hotel is currently owned by the Pakistan government, which is where things really start to get sticky.

The report on Fox News claims, “According to reports, New York City agreed to pay up to $220 million to the hotel, which is owned by the government of Pakistan. The deal was reportedly part of a $1.1 billion IMF [International Monetary Fund] bailout package to help Pakistan avoid defaulting on their international debt, according to former investment banker and author John LeFevre.”

When Musk was rooting through FEMA records, he claims to have found a $59 million payment from FEMA to house the illegals in these hotels, which former White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre denied was true.

Now, Musk has mischaracterized some of his DOGE findings before, so I am not quite ready to bury anyone over this, but I will be the first to admit it stinks like old fish sitting on the counter in the middle of the summer.

I am hoping that Bondi’s DOJ finds the proper links and can tie the Biden administration into illegal payments to eventually bring charges against former Biden officials.

Nothing would make me happier than to parade Biden officials before the court right around the time voters in this country are headed to the polls in 2026 and 2028.
