Florida sues FEMA for discrimination accusing it of denying aid to Trump supporters

Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody is suing Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator Deanne Criswell, and a former FEMA supervisor for violating the civil rights of Florida residents in the response to Hurricanes Helene and Milton, which hit in late September and early October.

The suit names Criswell, and former FEMA supervisor Marn’i Washington, who was fired after reports that she directed FEMA workers in Lake Placid, Fla. to skip over houses that displayed Trump campaign signs and flags in the aftermath of Hurricane Milton.
