Florida Sues FEMA Officials for Alleged Discrimination Against Trump Supporters

The lawsuit claims FEMA workers were directed to withhold aid from homes displaying Trump signs after recent hurricanes.

Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody has filed a lawsuit against FEMA officials, accusing them of instructing relief workers to skip homes with Trump signs.
The lawsuit names FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell and former FEMA Supervisor Marn’i Washington as defendants, seeking punitive damages for civil rights violations.
Whistleblower reports indicate that at least 20 homes in Lake Placid, Florida, were bypassed due to political bias, with similar actions alleged in other states.
FEMA has terminated Washington, labeling her actions as reprehensible, while Washington claims she was following directives from higher-ups and has been made a scapegoat.
The lawsuit has sparked political outrage, with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Congressional Republicans demanding accountability and investigations into FEMA's practices.
