A federal judge ruled Wednesday that the Trump administration can continue efforts to withhold tens of millions of dollars meant to cover hotel costs for migrants in New York City.

Musk, who as head of the Department of Government Efficiency has consolidated control over much of the federal government and is working to cut costs and shrink the workforce, posted on X that his team “just discovered that FEMA sent $59M LAST WEEK to luxury hotels in New York City to house illegal migrants.

Gone is a $59 million grant that the administration challenged earlier in the week and another award for $21.5 million.

New York City has filed a federal lawsuit against the Trump administration for the seizure of over $80 million in FEMA funds.

The ruling comes after Elon Musk claimed, without evidence, that $59 million in FEMA funds were used to cover high-end hotels for migrants.
