FACT CHECK: Post Claims Trump Gave North Carolina Money Formerly Meant For Illegal Immigrants

A post shared on X claims that President Donald Trump sent money to North Carolina that was formerly meant for illegal immigrants after the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) said they were out of money.

BREAKING:

FEMA said they were out of money and couldn’t help North Carolins.

Today Trump moved $2 billion from money used to support illegals to the people of North Carolina.

The origin of this claim is satire.

Fact Check:

Social media users are claiming that Trump sent money to North Carolina that was taken from money used to support illegal immigrants. One user wrote, “BREAKING: FEMA said they were out of money and couldn’t help North Carolins. Today Trump moved $2 billion from money used to support illegals to the people of North Carolina.”

This claim is false. No media outlets have reported on this. A search of the White House and FEMA government websites did not yield any results for any such claim. (RELATED: No, Firefighters In LA Are Not Fighting Wildfires Using ‘Handbags’)

The origin of this claim is America’s Love It Or Leave It, a Facebook page that describes itself as “subsidiary of the America’s Last Line of Defense network of trollery and propaganda for cash. Nothing on this page is real.” America’s Last Line of Defense is a satire network.
