The article starts with "six Biden-Harris Department of Education employees" -- yet all of these people are New York City DOE employees. They are not federal employees but local government employees of a large city.
True but worth adding that:
The NYC Program was/is funded out of a federal grant from the National Center for Homeless Education, and the feds are responsible for monitoring and auditing the actions of their grantees. Which is true of some of the other scam examples I gave as well- e.g. covid relief- and will be true of the mortgage funds for illegals program. Ultimately they are administered locally and that is where the scamming occurs. But the feds are responsible for creating and managing and overseeing the beast. Similarly, that whole mortgage scam crashed the economy in 2008. Local actors- bankers, mortgage originators writing federally guaranteed garbage.
