An internal probe found that FEMA officials under Joe Biden's administration refused to help disaster victims who displayed support for President Donald Trump, the Department of Homeland Security announced Tuesday.
DHS investigators said the politically motivated discrimination stretched from Hurricane Ida in 2021 to Hurricane Milton in 2024.
The DHS Privacy Office concluded that FEMA workers "systematically bypassed" homes with pro-Trump or Second Amendment signs, collecting political data on survivors in direct violation of the Privacy Act of 1974.
The report described the behavior as "a troubling overreach" that weaponized federal disaster relief against Americans in crisis.
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem condemned the findings: "The federal government was withholding aid from Americans based on their political beliefs — this should horrify every citizen."
According to the 50-page investigation, FEMA employees were told to avoid "homes advertising Trump."
At least 20 Florida homes reportedly went without initial aid after Hurricane Milton, according to the probe.
FEMA staff also logged information about residents' political views, a move DHS said "demonstrated a failure to protect data integrity and fairness."
Investigators found the discrimination was not isolated, contrary to testimony from Biden’s FEMA administrator, Deanne Criswell, before Congress.
And it occurred in multiple disasters across several states.

Permanently.
It wasn’t biden it was obama.
Not permanently!
Just until the gallows are built.
this wasn’t just the bidens.
remember, he was a mindless drooling moron, even before 0bama.
this was the auto-pen presidency.
his entire staff is responsible and those in FEMA that oversaw this abuse.
when you factor in the fact they were simultaneously importing MILLIONS of illegal foreigners... putting them up for free, paying their food bills, giving them clothing, etc... all while AMERICANS were suffering from horrific damage after losing their homes and everything they had (Ashville, NC)
this amounts to treason... helping foreigners over / instead of Americans
Agree!
There’s room for him at Gitmo, too.
OK!
This isn’t anything in particular. The Biden administration targeted anyone speaking against them. If you don’t think I wasn’t targeted by the Biden administration, think again!
I’ve been on the FBI list since Jarbibge when I asked them why they we were taking down my car license. I told them I had no secrets just ask!
I got $25,000 from the Feds after I lost EVERYTHING in the Antifa/BLM caused urban ALMEDA wildfire.
Without any notice, 2 years later they attached my social security checks..so I wrote them a check in full. Nope! They attached the next 2 years for $10,000 interest!
I WILL never be able to go home.
This is the only thing they could dream up to go after me because I have never been in debt, managed the credit bureau and never had so much as a traffic ticket.
You will never hear about all the good people they destroyed. Many just commit suicide because THE PROCESS is HORRIBLE. Many of my elderly neighbors died of exhaustion and grief.
The feds gave a local nonprofit (lmao) Access all the FEMA $ locally. I know an illegal alien woman who got a brand new double wide and they pay the space rent!!
So far the best thing I have been offered is a 500 sq ft apartment for $800 a month. I’m on a waiting list.
The night of the fire I spent in a parking lot 40 miles away. No freeway access...5 Black clad, African American masked guys on motorcycles pulled in and started harassing me.. they noticed the Trump stickers...
They were Antifa. They burned my community!
I was able to discourage them...... I’m lucky they didn’t kill me.
They were both CIA picks.
Probably explains why East Tennessee got such piss-poor assistance from FEMA after Helene...those mountain counties are as ‘red’ as they come.
So, who do you blame? It starts at the top but goes full circle. And it wounds everyone in between all the way down to the little people that did it and knew they were, why wasn’t the attorney general contacted? Why wasn’t anyone asking questions? If they were to do this right, they’d have to spend years in court and re-hire and re-train the entire section(s). And who goes to jail if no one can prove harm?

There are STILL people living in tents and trailers in North Carolina as of a month ago...saw them with my own eyes.
Yes, and it all started with the social security number. After all they told the people, it will not ever be used for identification.
Always remember, 99% of all people can be identified by name, birthdate, and the county they were born in. That is a fact!!
Im hoping thst fema is dismantled and scattered to the states where local control will be in place or just shitecan it altogether.
My dad's SS card says it is not to be used for identification. When I mentioned that to someone they told me that was just "Mandela Effect" and that it did not happen.
I asked what he was talking about and was told that "well everyone thought that Mandela died in prison..." I cut him off with, "who believed that?"
"Everybody."
"I didn't."
"Well everybody else did so..."
"Were they on drugs all through the 90s?"
"Huh?"
"Were they so blasted out of what passed for their tiny brains that they could not remember the man was President of South Africa during the 1990s?"
"That is not the point!"
"Yes, it is. You are telling me that something I saw personally does not exist because some dumb people did some major drugs that wiped out their memory."
It was probably not very nice of me but I was enjoying watching him turn various shades while opening and closing his mouth like a beached fish.
I’ll just assume no one will be arrested for this.
"it was obama"
Disgusting.
