Damning report confirms FEMA relief workers deliberately SKIPPED Trump voters' homes after deadly Hurricane Milton

2026-08-25

[DM] FEMA relief workers who deliberately skipped the homes of Trump supporters after Hurricane Milton broke federal law as well as agency policy, a bombshell government watchdog report obtained by the Daily Mail has found.

The damning findings released Monday by the Department of Homeland Security's Office of Inspector General, confirm the politically charged snubs in the weeks leading up to the 2024 presidential election - and reveal workers brazenly listed 'Trump flag' in official records as their reason for bypassing hurricane victims.

The extraordinary report - based on an internal audit of the agency's response to the October 2024 Hurricane - confirms a central allegation of a whistleblower who exposed the scandal days after Donald Trump's election victory in 2024 - and reveals glaring failures inside the agency responsible for helping Americans in times of disaster.

'FEMA Disaster Response Crew Violated Law and Policy by Skipping Homes with Political Signage,' the report's blunt headline states.

Through surveys submitted by crew members at the time, the IG was able to confirm 11 instances in which disaster workers bypassed properties for improper reasons in late October 2024, including one entry that simply stated, 'did not visit due to Trump flag', according to the report.

And that likely represents just a fraction of the actual number of homes missed, an insider told the Daily Mail, given the vast majority of notes were left blank.

A source told the Daily Mail that crew members violated FEMA policy as well as the Hatch Act, which limits political activities of federal employees and can lead to civil action including termination, fines, and forfeiting of pay.

'This is unacceptable for any public servant,' a DHS official said. 'Federal disaster responses are supposed to serve every American equally, no matter who they voted for or what sign is in their yard.
