Gov. Bill Lee announced that he and Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti will investigate whether Tennesseans were discriminated against during relief work by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. According to WSMV, the investigation follows a report that one of FEMA's employees advised her disaster relief team to avoid homes displaying signs supporting President-elect Donald Trump in Florida after Hurricane Milton. A FEMA spokesperson said the agency is “deeply disturbed by this employee’s actions,” and the incident is under investigation.
