They don’t get to choose where SSP funds are spent.
Congress doesn’t give agencies a bucket of money to spend wherever they want.
Congress gives agencies several buckets. The money in each bucket can only be spent on what Congress says the bucket is to be spent on.
FEMA can’t spend SSP money on other things. FEMA can’t spend disaster relief money on other things. They are each specific programs, with specific funding for each program, each allocated by Congress.
You posted a link, from which JeffB quoted this passage:
“ In response to the flows of migrants at the Southwest Border, on December 29, 2022, Congress enacted a full-year appropriation for DHS and FEMA. The Act directed CBP to transfer to FEMA $800 million from its FY 2023 Operations and Support appropriation, “to support sheltering and related activities provided by non-Federal entities, including facility improvements and construction, in support of relieving overcrowding in short-term holding facilities of CBP.””
Seriously, take a civics class.
