ICE Barbie Delayed Texas Aid While Asking Instagram Which Portrait to Order

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem waited four days to sign off crucial aid for the Texas floods—but did find time to post on social media about her official portrait.

Four officials at the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which falls under the umbrella of the Department of Homeland Security, told CNN that a newly introduced requirement for Noem’s signature on any contract and grant over $100,000 delayed their response to the flooding in Texas, where 120 people have died and a further 150 are missing.

CNN reported that FEMA was unable to move Urban Search and Rescue crews into position when waters started rising on Friday because it needed Noem’s signature, which did not come until Monday.

It is unclear why Noem waited until Monday to sign off.

Noem asked her Instagram followers on Sunday which image they preferred for her official portrait as the former governor of South Dakota.“Which one do you like for the official Governor’s portrait to hang in the South Dakota State Capitol? Thank you David Uhl!” she posted.

 
Complete .lies, per usual.

Search and rescue is not FEMA's job; it is the job of the Coast Guard, National Guard, local first responders, etc., who were on the ground in the early morning hours of July 4th.

Everything they needed was provided immediately by DHS, etc.
 
Callers to FEMA’s disaster call center have also been forced to wait longer for a response since Noem’s signature was needed to bring in additional staff, CNN reported.

Multiple FEMA officials told the network that acting FEMA Administrator David Richardson has been given little authority by Noem.

Last month, CNN obtained a memo indicating that all Homeland Security contracts and grants over $100,000 must first be approved by Noem before the funds are released. The memo stated that funding requests must include details such as the mission’s impact, dollar amounts, timeliness issues, descriptions of the supplies or services, and a plan of action.

CNN is lying its ass off, per usual.

Rescue , once again, IS NOT FEMA'S JOB.

The people who's job it is were ready , in place July 4h AM.

Try another lie.

Delayed aid

“We were operating under a clear set of guidance: lean forward, be prepared, anticipate what the state needs, and be ready to deliver it,” a longtime FEMA official told the news outlet. “That is not as clear of an intent for us at the moment.”

Bullshit. Delayed nothing.

Kristi Noem under fire over deadly Texas floods, faces resignation calls for delaying FEMA response for 72 hours

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is facing calls to resign for enacting disaster relief reforms which officials say hobbled FEMA at the crucial moment after the Texas floods. Sources inside FEMA told multiple US media outlets that new policies, including one that requires Noem personally sign off on any spending request over $100,000, slowed responses and removed autonomy from agency employees.
