A whistleblower reported in late 2024 that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) directed relief workers to bypass homes displaying Donald Trump campaign signs during canvassing efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Milton. A follow-up review by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) found that FEMA had engaged in widespread withholding of disaster aid based on political signage, and in doing so, collected and maintained records of survivors’ political beliefs, which DHS says violated the Privacy Act of 1974.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem condemned the actions, saying, “This should horrify every American, regardless of political persuasion.” “They deliberately avoided houses displaying support for President Trump and the Second Amendment, illegally collected and stored information about survivors’ political beliefs, and failed to report their malicious behavior. We will not let this stand.”
