MIAMI—Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody announced that she is taking legal action against Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Administrator Deanne Criswell and recently fired supervisor Marn’i Washington for “conspiracy to discriminate against Florida hurricane victims who support President-elect Donald Trump.”

Moody is seeking nominal damages, punitive damages in the defendants’ individual capacities, and a declaration that these FEMA officials “conspired to interfere with the civil rights of Florida citizens.”
