FEMA Fires Three Supervisors After Investigation into Skipping Trump-Supporting Homes for Hurricane Relief

The agency's probe found no systemic issue but terminated staff for failing to meet conduct standards and ordered additional training to ensure impartial disaster aid.

  • FEMA terminated three supervisors following an investigation into relief workers skipping homes with Trump campaign signs in hurricane-hit Florida.
  • The investigation found no evidence of a systemic problem but identified failures in leadership oversight within the immediate supervisory chain.
  • Acting FEMA Administrator Cameron Hamilton emphasized that political affiliation should never influence disaster relief efforts and announced additional staff training.
  • Former FEMA supervisor Marn'i Washington, previously fired for issuing the directive, claimed she was scapegoated and that the practice reflected existing local trends.
  • The Trump administration and GOP lawmakers, including Rep. Vern Buchanan and Sen. Katie Britt, praised the firings as a step toward accountability and impartiality in federal aid.
