Abstract
Abstract For the past two decades, the Department of Homeland Security has housed both the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). This article discusses two ways that DHS’s structure has impaired FEMA’s ability to equitably provide disaster aid: the historical refusal to guarantee undocumented people that FEMA would not share their information within DHS for removal purposes, and DHS’s reprogramming of appropriated funds from FEMA to ICE. This article frames these issues in the context of climate change, arguing for legislative solutions to ensure that ICE’s immigration enforcement functions do not overwhelm FEMA’s disaster relief mission.
期刊介绍：
The Environmental Claims Journal is a quarterly journal that focuses on the many types of claims and liabilities that result from environmental exposures. The ECJ considers environmental claims under older business insurance policies, coverage and claims under more recent environmental insurance policies, as well as toxic tort claims. Exposures and claims from all environmental media are considered: air, drinking water, groundwater, soil, chemicals in commerce and naturally occurring chemicals. The journal also considers the laws, regulations, and case law that form the basis for claims. The journal would be of interest to environmental and insurance attorneys, insurance professionals, claims professionals, and environmental consultants.
