What is the federal 'clawback' controversy involving NYC and how is the city responding?

New York City is fighting to recover $80 million in federal funds that were suddenly withdrawn after being legally allocated for migrant services and shelters. This unprecedented clawback occurred following allegations from Elon Musk about misuse of FEMA funds, though NYC Comptroller Brad Lander maintains the funds were properly designated. The city was left with an overdraft situation when the money was withdrawn. Comptroller Lander has indicated the city will continue fighting to recover every penny, as the funds are essential for providing necessary migrant support services. The city is pursuing legal options to reclaim these resources.
