Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody has filed a lawsuit against current and former officials from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for ordering his workers to ignore storm victims who support President-elect Trump.

The disclosure made headlines after whistle-blower reports that FEMA workers in Lake Placid, Florida, were told to skip households with storm victims who showed support for Trump.

“FEMA workers followed those instructions and entered messages into a government database such as ‘Trump sign no entry per leadership,'” the lawsuit states. “According to whistleblowers, ‘at least 20 homes with Trump signs or flags’ in Lake Placid, Florida” skipped from late October into November due to the guidance.”

Moody promised to investigate the allegations as Floridians still face the threat of damaging storms this season.

“Hurricane season is not over, and the federal emergency management agency is embroiled in scandal — caught withholding aid from storm victims in Florida who support President Trump,” the attorney general said. “I am taking swift legal action to find out the extent of this political discrimination and to ensure that all Americans who fall victim to devastating storms are served, regardless of their political affiliation.”

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said he supports the legal action and further instructed other government agencies to take “all necessary steps” to investigate and hold alleged perpetrators accountable.

“It is unacceptable for the federal government to discriminate against Floridians who voted for Trump, and particularly severe in the aftermath of a hurricane,” he said.

When Fox News Digital reached out to FEMA for comment on the legal action, a FEMA spokesperson said, “FEMA does not comment on pending litigation” and submitted a statement that FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell issued over the weekend about the incident and the firing of the employee.

On Saturday, Criswell confirmed to Fox News Digital that the employee had been fired, calling her actions “reprehensible” and a clear violation of FEMA’s core values ​​and principles of helping people regardless of their political affiliation.

A FEMA spokesperson told Fox News on Friday that the agency was “deeply disturbed” by the fired worker’s actions but insisted it was an “isolated incident.”

The fired FEMA supervisor, Marn’i Washington, has said her actions were consistent with agency guidance and were not isolated to her team alone, claiming FEMA is scapegoating her.

“Why is this falling on me? I’m the person who wrote down the notes from my superiors and my notation in (Microsoft) Teams chat was exposed from their search capabilities team,” Washington told “Fox News @ Night” on Wednesday.
