Attorney General Ashley Moody is taking legal action against the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for alleged discrimination against Donald Trump supporters. The lawsuit stems from a FEMA supervisor instructing workers not to approach homes with Trump signs, leading to criticism from Republicans and a congressional investigation. Despite FEMA firing the supervisor responsible, Moody’s lawsuit alleges a conspiracy to violate the civil rights of Floridians. FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell confirmed the guidance existed and emphasized that such behavior will not be tolerated. A congressional hearing and internal review are underway to determine if similar incidents occurred within the agency. The supervisor involved, Marn’I Washington, claimed she was unfairly targeted and received death threats due to the policy. Moody’s lawsuit argues that denying aid based on political affiliation is a violation of civil rights. The lawsuit seeks to hold FEMA officials accountable for their actions and ensure equitable distribution of disaster relief regardless of political beliefs.
