FEMA Also Avoided Homes in Tennessee and North Carolina With Trump Signs

You may be aware that during recent Hurricane Milton assessment and cleanup operations in Florida, a FEMA supervisory official told crews to skip houses with Donald Trump presidential signs. In a message to those involved on the ground after Milton, that supervisor brazenly issued an order, both in group chats and messages, advising to “avoid homes advertising Trump.” In assessment progress messages, the inspectors noted, “Trump sign no entry per leadership.”
In a complaint filed with the Department of Homeland Security about the Trump directive, one of the team members noted, “If they had damage or lost power for over thirty-six hours, it was my duty to inform them of benefits to which they are entitled through FEMA.”
One of the volunteers making assessments declared: “When we got there, we were told to discriminate against people. It’s almost unbelievable to think that somebody in the federal government would think that’s okay. 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.”
