FEMA employee fired after telling relief team to skip houses with Trump signs following Florida hurricane
A Federal Emergency Management Agency employee has been fired after they advised their disaster relief team to avoid homes with signs supporting former President Donald Trump while canvassing in Florida in the aftermath of Hurricane Milton, the agency's administrator said on Saturday.
FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell called the actions of the employee "reprehensible" and said they have been terminated from their role.
"More than 22,000 FEMA employees every day adhere to FEMA's core values and are dedicated to helping people before, during and after disasters, often sacrificing time with their own families to help disaster survivors," Criswell wrote in a post on X before describing the employee's actions.
