FEMA broke federal law by skipping homes with Trump signs after hurricane, watchdog says
The watchdog said the crew skipped 11 homes with Trump signs, and FEMA later imposed mandatory Hatch Act and ethics training.
- A federal watchdog report confirmed that FEMA staff illegally skipped 11 homes with Trump campaign signs following Hurricane Milton in 2024, with the crew leader explicitly instructing subordinates to avoid these properties.
- Crew leader Washington repeatedly told subordinates "not to visit properties with Trump 2024 campaign signage," later claiming she was "framed" and simply following orders after hostile encounters at those locations.
- Testifying before the House Oversight Committee in November 2024, then-FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell said Washington's actions "were unacceptable," while maintaining the evidence showed this was an "isolated incident."
- FEMA fired Washington and mandated ethics training on the Hatch Act; the Office of Special Counsel filed a complaint against her in February 2025 after Trump took office.
- The incident eroded public trust in FEMA's impartiality; additionally, the Survey123 program shut down in 2025 after Secretary Kristi Noem "did not act on the FEMA request to fund the contract before its lapse.
