  • A federal watchdog report revealed that a FEMA crew illegally skipped 11 Florida homes displaying Donald Trump campaign signs following Hurricane Milton in 2024.
  • The Homeland Security Inspector General concluded that the directive violated the Hatch Act and severely eroded public trust in FEMA's impartiality.
  • FEMA terminated crew leader Marn'i Washington and other involved staffers, leading to a formal Hatch Act complaint filed against Washington in February 2025.

  • The watchdog noted FEMA lacked sufficient ethics training and standardized record-keeping, while further investigation was hindered by a lapsed software contract in 2025.
