DHS Watchdog Confirms FEMA Crew Skipped 11 Pro-Trump Homes
After Hurricane Milton hit Florida in 2024, crew leader Marn'i Washington was fired and found to have violated the Hatch Act.
- Marn'i Washington told investigators pro-Trump homes seemed 'more hostile,' so she avoided them.
- A database tracking home visits went dark after a contract lapsed under Secretary Kristi Noem.
- FEMA ended door-to-door canvassing entirely, moving crews to fixed sites with new training rules.
Why it matters: Aid meant to be neutral was rationed by one employee's reading of a lawn sign.
