If true, sounds kinda personal and will prolly result in repercussions.

But the fact so many MAGA idiots were acting violent towards FEMA operatives prolly is enough to justify it. Can't blame em, if a group of people are actively fighting against your help then it's better to not waste time/energy/safety on em.

I heard shit about MAGA idiots pulling out guns on FEMA folks, that's fucked up lol

.... because right wing people have been threatening FEMA officials because of bullshit lies about immigrants taking enough FEMA money stopping FEMA from helping "real Americans" and helping immigrants "invade." This what happens when disinformation goes too far...

"FEMA made operational changes to keep personnel safe “out of an abundance of caution,” agency Administrator Deanne Criswell said at a briefing Tuesday."

Fucked up if true. However, if a group of people are causing problems then it'd be best to avoid them. Political identity isn't a protected class.

It's for the workers safety. If someone is known to be aggressive around you, you avoid them.
