On Nov. 8, 2024, an investigation from conservative news outlet The Daily Wire claimed that an official of the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) had instructed hurricane-response workers to avoid homes with signs supporting then-presidential candidate Donald Trump in their front yards.

The employee, who was not named, was fired from her position, Administrator Deanne Criswell said in a post to social media on Saturday.

FEMA supervisor who was fired for instructing subordinates to skip over houses with Trump signs says that her actions were in accord with agency guidance and were not isolated to her team alone.
