Officials have expressed strong dissatisfaction following a statement by DHS Secretary Mayorkas regarding the insufficiency of FEMA funds for recovery efforts related to Hurricane Helene. The situation has raised concerns about the availability of resources necessary for addressing the impacts of the hurricane.

In light of this development, there is a call for urgent measures and responsibility in managing the crisis. The urgency is underscored by the potential threat to lives, highlighting the critical need for adequate funding and support.

The comments from Secretary Mayorkas have sparked a reaction, with some individuals describing his remarks as deeply concerning. "Americans should be ‘outraged’ over Mayorkas’ comments on FEMA funds: He is a ‘virus’," reported Fox News.
