Florida Launches Legal Battle Over FEMA Aid Discrimination Against Trump Supporters

A federal emergency relief controversy erupts as Florida officials challenge FEMA leadership over alleged political discrimination in hurricane assistance.

According to The Hill, Florida has filed a lawsuit against FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell and former employee Marn'i Washington for allegedly denying hurricane relief to residents displaying Trump campaign signs after Hurricane Milton.

The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Fort Pierce, stems from instructions given to survivor assistance teams to bypass homes showing support for President-elect Trump.
