Summary
Following accusations from former FEMA supervisor Marn'i Washington, congressional Republicans are investigating claims that the agency instructed staff to bypass homes displaying Trump support during disaster relief efforts in hurricane-affected areas. Washington stated that this practice was part of a larger trend, drawing attention to what she termed a systemic avoidance related to political affiliations. FEMA's administrator denounced the actions as violations of core values, as multiple congressional committees initiate probes into the agency's conduct and accountability in disaster response. Washington is considering legal recourse for her firing.
