A Federal Emergency Management Agency employee was fired after he instructed workers helping hurricane survivors not to go to homes with yard signs supporting President-elect Donald Trump, the leader of the Federal Emergency Management Agency said Saturday.

“This is a clear violation of FEMA’s core values ​​and principles of helping people regardless of their political affiliation,” said FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell. “This was reprehensible.”

The agency did not identify the employee or say where the incident occurred.

But Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said it was happening in Florida, saying it was “targeted discrimination” against Florida residents who supported Trump.

DeSantis said he directed the Florida Department of Emergency Management to launch an investigation into the matter.

“The blatant weaponization of the government by partisan activists in the federal bureaucracy is yet another reason the Biden-Harris administration is in its final days,” DeSantis said on social media.

“New leadership is on the way in D.C., and I am optimistic that these partisan bureaucrats will be fired,” he said.

There were no details in FEMA’s statement or DeSantis’ comments about the time period or community in which the incident occurred. FEMA workers help residents recover across state Hurricane MiltonThe event that devastated many Florida communities last month.

Criswell said he is committed to holding employees accountable.

“I will continue to do everything I can to ensure this never happens again,” he said.
