FEMA Employee Fired For Bypassing Homes With Trump Signs Says ‘Befehl ist Befehl’
[Federalist] An employee who was terminated from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for ordering government workers to bypass homes of Trump supporters said she was simply following standard operating procedure.

On Friday, the Daily Wire reported that FEMA supervisor Marn’i Washington had instructed staff to "avoid homes advertising Trump" while "they canvassed Lake Placid, Florida to identify residents who could qualify for federal aid" after Hurricane Milton tore through the region in early October.

"Government employees told The Daily Wire that at least 20 homes with Trump signs or flags were skipped from the end of October and into November due to the guidance, meaning they were not given the opportunity to qualify for FEMA assistance," the outlet reported. "Images shared with The Daily Wire show that houses were skipped over by the workers, who wrote in the government system messages such as: ’Trump sign no entry per leadership.’"

Washington was promptly fired from the agency, and FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell condemned the conduct as "a clear violation of FEMA’s core values & principles to help people regardless of their political affiliation."

"This was reprehensible," Criswell said. "This employee has been terminated and we have referred the matter to the Office of Special Counsel."

Washington, however, who was also terminated from her private sector job at a property management company, said in an interview with the Black Star Network published late Monday night that she was just following FEMA’s standard operating procedure.
