House Homeland Security Committee Demands Interviews with FEMA Employee

Several weeks ago, a bombshell report was filed by the Daily Wire.

The report outlined how FEMA workers were told to skip by houses that openly showed support for Donald Trump in the 2024 election.

According to the report, the order to skip the homes came from a FEMA supervisor.

The incident reportedly happened while FEMA workers were surveying the damage done by Hurricane Milton in Florida.

FEMA supervisor Marn’i Washington told staffers to “avoid homes advertising Trump” both verbally and in group chat messages for the relief team she was supervising.

Whistleblowers came forward with the information, also stating that roughly 20 homes were skipped due to this guidance, with the logs reading, “Trump sign no entry per leadership.”

Employees were furious at the guidance, with one stating, “I volunteered to help disaster victims, not discriminate against them. It didn’t matter if people were black, white, Hispanic, for Trump, for Harris. Everyone deserves the same amount of help.”

The House Homeland Security Committee is now demanding to interview numerous FEMA employees on the matter.

Chair Mark Green (R-TN), Rep. Dan Bishop (R-N.C.), and Rep. Anthony D’Esposito (R-N.Y) penned a letter on the matter.

In part, the letter stated, "Ms. Washington’s statement contradicts FEMA’s press release and points to a possibly systemic bias within FEMA against individuals that support President-elect Donald J. Trump.

"If such bias is present within FEMA, the Committee is deeply concerned that households that support President-elect Trump and even neighborhoods consisting of primarily Republican-aligned households might be receiving diminished levels of resources, manpower, and support, significantly protracting recovery following natural disasters."

The committee leaders have demanded to speak to three employees by the end of the week.

Washington spoke with Trace Gallagher of Fox News on the subject, insisting that she was only relaying “what was coming down from my superiors.”

Green stated, "If [Washington] is right and there is a broader ‘policy’ of discriminatory practices in the agency’s recovery efforts, this Committee will demand accountability from the highest levels.”

FEMA is already under the radar for what many consider to be a disastrous effort to provide adequate relief during these last two hurricanes.

If the agency's higher-ups were, in fact, dropping this policy, we can expect sweeping changes, and I honestly would not be surprised if charges of some sort were filed against leadership.
