A press release from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Tuesday accuses FEMA officials under the prior administration of having “systematically refused aid to disaster survivors on purely political discrimination.”
It also raises the specter of charges for former FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell, arguing she was wrong when she testified under oath that one FEMA employee’s instruction not to canvas houses hit by Hurricane Milton if they had a Trump sign was simply an isolated incident.
“The actions of this employee are unacceptable, and it is not indicative of the culture of FEMA, and I do not believe that there is a widespread cultural problem,” Criswell said when testifying before the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee last year.
Beyond Criswell, an accompanying 22-page report from DHS’s Office of Privacy also suggests FEMA employees may have violated the Privacy Act of 1974, which dictates what information government employees can retain on U.S. citizens.
But the data mined by the Privacy Office appears to come from Survey123, a FEMA tool that pairs with ArcGIS software and allows canvassers to make notes about properties they visited or were unable to visit as part of their efforts to alert residents to aid.
The office reviewed “keywords” referenced in the tool, finding a few instances of mentions of political figures while the majority referenced potential guns in the home. Employees can leave notes in the tool to detail their interactions with homeowners or why they may not have been able to access a property, however the report leaves unclear the context in which Trump was raised in the 15 comments.

They discriminated against anyone that was a Trump supporter, were told to avoid homes that had ‘conservative’ or Trump support signs.
Democrats have pushed discrimination, in one form or another, since the inception of their party.
Just another smoke screen, intended to distract from the fact that the Epstein files have not been released.
Trump and Mike Johnson are doing everything they can to cover up Trump‘s relationship with Epstein, whatever happened to Trump‘s bullshit about being “the most transparent administration ever!”
All it takes to convict somebody is accusations and rumors? Good. All democrats are fascists and need to be in camps. miner49er was on epstein island. kamala was helping human trafficers bring sex slaves into the country. Along with the clintons and bidens.
My statement carries as much weight as yours, miner.
“kamala was helping human trafficers bring sex slaves into the country. ”
Well, actually she did.
Anyway…
Why didn’t Biden and the democrats release the Epstein files? Why did Biden try to hide the Epstein files? Did dem Bill Clinton attend Epstein apartment and Island parties more than the dozen times we already know about and thats why Biden didn’t release the Epstein files to protect a dem pervert and child rapist?
Moderation? Again? Good to know you screen miner49er. Who owns this site? A bunch of canadiens?
Now that’s funny. Canadiens hahaha
Are they allowed to use the internet?
If you think it’s only Trump, or even only politicians, who don’t want the files released, I have a bridge to sell you.
The biden admin had those ‘files’. They did not release them because it clears Trump and convicts just about all the top dems.
“The biden admin had those ‘files’. They did not release them because it clears Trump and convicts just about all the top dems.”
Correct.
If Trump was in them, we all know they would have been leaked five minutes after Epstein was arrested. Accusers would have been crawling out of the woodwork to accuse him. Yet, the actual victims testified under oath that they never saw Trump. Trump cut off Epstien completely when he found out what Epstein was into. The only person to accuse Trump of SA was some gossip columnist 30 years after it allegedly happened in a busy department store but couldn’t name the date because she knew Trump would provide his schedule for the day and disprove her after they passed a law just for her. The Dems charged Trump with everything but arson, murder, treason, and jaywalking, if they thought they had the remotest chance of finding a jury to convict him on SA they would have charged him with that.
not mining: “Accusers would have been crawling out of the woodwork to accuse him.” President Trump that is.
Exactly right. The TDS runs far deeper than any oil well and it seems the “swamp” has no bottom too low for the left to stoop.
Crawling out of the woodwork, haven’t heard that saying in many a year.
“Why didn’t Biden and the democrats release the Epstein files?“
The previous DOJ couldn’t have released them. Much of it was under judicial seal until after the election, and it was still an active investigation until AG Pam Bondi ended it on Trump’s ordersin July 2025. They can’t release information under judicial seal, or that’s part of an active investigation.
Now that Trump has ended the investigation, the DOJ evidence is in the public domain and should be released by AG Pam Bondi as Donald Trump promised during his campaign.
But of course it won’t be released, Trump needs to protect himself and his billionaire pederast cronies.
Oh BS. There were thousand of Epstein files records hidden by Biden at the NY field office that Biden had access to at any time but he kept them hidden and didn’t release them. So we know those had nothing on Trump in them for if they did Biden would have used it. But why hide the files? Who was Biden trying to protect?
The ones under seal were dealing with Ghislaine Maxwell’s conviction, and the rest dealing with some of the victims of Epstein and some involving national security that are still involved in investigations.
Maxwell already testified to the DOJ in July 2025 and said that Trump didn’t do anything wrong. Those transcripts are available.
All of the other victims of Epstein whose records were sealed, all of them have said publicly at one time or another they never had any interaction with Trump or saw him or heard of him having any interaction with any of the girls, and none of them ever heard of or saw Trump at Epstein island. They did mention Bill Clinton though, and we already know Bill was at Epsteins apartment and the Island at least dozen times and that he lied about some of the trips he took on Epstein’s private jet.
MajorSkidmarks,
Oh, how convenient!! Biden (heh!!) had his DOJ ‘investigating’, so they just couldn’t disclose the files. Trump has already released more of the Epstein files than Senile Joe did in four years. Sure, we’d all like to see more released – the difference is that we rational folk all know DAMN WELL that nothing in them incriminates Trump, or the Biden DOJ seive would have released it to one of their media cronies years ago.
Pull the other one, MajorSkidmarks, it’s got bells on it.
Sod off, Swampy.
The Epstein related stuff under court seal is only ~2% of the total Epstein stuff.
Why didn’t Biden release the other ~98% in posession of the Biden DOJ?
That’s the question you should be asking Miner49er.
Minor
Still stuck on that I see.
Your handers haven’t given you any new crap to spew? That’s a shame. We would like something new to laugh at you about.
MajorSkidmarks,
What, haven’t managed your daily quota of lies, yet, and had to come here a spew a few random ones just to get your ‘count’ up???
Query, MajorSkidmarks: How many years did the Biden ‘administration’ have complete control of the Epstein files???? Were they released?? Who was Senile Joe trying to protect (or, more accurately, the bureaucrats who were pulling that pudding-brained, senile nitwit’s stings)???
You’re not even a decent joke, anymore, MajorSkidmarks. You remain a clown, however. And too stupid to insult.
