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.

国土安全部内联邦应急管理局和移民与海关执法局共同定位的气候正义含义

在过去的二十年里，国土安全部是联邦紧急事务管理局(FEMA)和美国移民和海关执法局(ICE)的所在地。本文讨论了国土安全部的结构损害了联邦应急管理局公平提供灾难援助的能力的两种方式:历史上拒绝向无证人员保证联邦应急管理局不会在国土安全部内分享他们的信息，以及国土安全部将拨款从联邦应急管理局重新规划到ICE。本文将这些问题置于气候变化的背景下，讨论立法解决方案，以确保ICE的移民执法职能不会压倒联邦应急管理局的救灾任务。

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.
