FEMA isn't publicly reporting the acquisitions, despite millions of dollars of taxpayer money, nor has the administration detailed how it decides which supplies to seize & where to reroute them.https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2020-04-07/hospitals-washington-seize-coronavirus-supplies …

Officials who’ve had materials seized also say they’ve received no guidance from the gov't about how/if they will get access to the supplies they ordered. This is stoking concerns on how public funds are being spent & whether the admin is fairly distributing scarce supplies.
