BREAKING: Kristi Noem announces FEMA deployed without pay for Potomac spill despite Dem govt shutdown

by The Right Scoop

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem just announced that both FEMA and the EPA will be deployed to aid with the Potomac sewage spill, despite Democrats shutting DHS down by refusing to fund it. Because of the latter, the FEMA employees will be working without pay.

Here’s what she wrote:

Today, @POTUS Trump directed @FEMA and @EPA to provide emergency assistance to the District of Columbia as they work to protect people from the effects of the recent spill in the Potomac. @EPALeeZeldin and I will stay in close contact to ensure coordinated federal support to the District.
 
FEMA is deploying a team to support incident management, working directly with local officials and federal partners to coordinate federal resources. EPA will lead the federal response while @DHSgov and FEMA leverage all our resources to ensure the cleanup is swift and effective.

Even as Democrat politicians shut us down and these men and women go without pay, DHS is committed to providing much needed aid to the Americans impacted by this disaster. We will not let our citizens suffer without help.
