The official, identified as Marn\u2019i Washington by The Daily Wire, was dismissed from her supervisory position after instructing her team to overlook the homes of Trump supporters while assessing damage from Hurricane Milton in Florida. Washington directed workers to &#8220;avoid homes advertising Trump&#8221; during their evaluations in Lake Placid. Reports indicate that at least 20 homes belonging to apparent Trump supporters were not assessed for damage and thus could not receive FEMA assistance.<\/p>\n<p>Workers documented messages like &#8220;Trump sign no entry per leadership&#8221; in government logs. These employees were part of a Department of Homeland Security surge capacity team volunteering to assist FEMA with emergencies. One volunteer expressed disbelief that federal employees would be instructed to discriminate against individuals based on political affiliation, stating they aimed to help disaster victims rather than exclude them.<\/p>\n<p>FEMA acted swiftly upon learning about the directive, removing Washington and promising an investigation into the matter. A spokesperson stated that this was considered an isolated incident and emphasized that Washington had no authority or direction for such guidance. They are also reaching out to those who may have been affected by this situation.<\/p>\n<p>While FEMA claims it has taken significant steps to address the issue and clarified that Washington is no longer with the agency, some critics feel this response is insufficient. Many are calling for greater accountability within FEMA and expressing frustration with current leadership and justice systems in place, indicating a desire for substantial changes following recent events on November 5th<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2366572,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Michael-Featured-Image-36.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[18818,42042,33446],"class_list":["post-2366571","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-fema","tag-hurricane-relief","tag-political-neutrality"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Michael-Featured-Image-36.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2366571","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2366571"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2366571\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2366575,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2366571\/revisions\/2366575"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2366572"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2366571"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2366571"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2366571"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
