So... Does anyone else wonder if DOGE defunded them and they had to get New Zealand to bail them out of hypothermia? Why are they being secretive about what the emergency was? Ice collapse due to global warming that the administration is in denial of?

The 2026 US budget has a 70% funding reduction. This evacuation was for medical reasons, so for privacy the information released will be limited. In an emergency it makes more sense to fly from New Zealand than all the way from the USA.
