Noem defends FEMA’s Texas response, calls Democrat criticism ‘despicable’

On Sunday, the Internal Security Security Security said that the criticism of the federal response to the deadly floods in Texas was political motives, describing the accusations of one of the democratic legislators of being “very midwife.”

Naim appeared in “Fox News Sunday”, where she defended the allegations that the Fema response was delayed, and the confirmation of senator Chris Murphy, D-Kun.

“You know, this memo and this criticism, I think, it is all the policy because I was there.” “I was there and every time someone asked something, we said, definitely, it will be here as soon as possible and it will be done.”

Nayyim said that she and more than 700 FEMA workers were in the area within hours of contact with Texas officials. She added that the Coast Guard was published immediately after the call.

Disaster response in Texas in the Trump administration is “radically different” from Biden’s approach

Fourth floods were killed in July at least 129 people in central Texas. The authorities believe that more than 160 people may still be missing in the province of Kiir.

Al -Amin said that this operation was “the fastest in the history in which Fema has ever responded to a disaster,” and contrary to a busy record in FEMA under the Biden Administration, this time Fema runs how President Trump wanted to work. “

“I am very proud of the fact that we did not go there and turn it there,” she said. “We went there and allowed local officials to manage it, to operate it. The state has done a great job. We are there to support them and provide them with the resources they need.”

Noem’s cnn report claiming that it was delayed DHS response to Texas Flash as “absolute garbage”

When he was asked about Murphy’s allegations about the victims’ calls to Fema without answer in the days after the deadly floods due to the shooting, the sleep of his words described a “absolute lie”.

“This is what I think is very deceptive and terrible about the situation. No person was released, and no contracts have ended, and everyone was answering calls and making everything in their power to help the people of Texas,” Nayem said. “So the fact that the Democrats are politicizing this while people are still looking for their children, and they are still looking for their family members, and I think it is completely unreasonable.”

Nom said that the Americans “need to know the truth” How Democrats benefit from this situation to help themselves politically. “

She said: “It is a harm not only for the people of Texas and these families that pass by sadness at the present time, they are harm to our country.”

Fox News Digital communicated with Murphy’s office to comment on Nayyem’s notes, but they did not respond immediately.

Naim was also asked about a federal judge who is temporary temporary against many ICE operations that were carried out in southern California.
She described the judge’s ruling as “ridiculous” and said that the federal government would appeal.

“We have always built our operations, our investigations into cases, and that individuals know that we need to target them because they were criminals, because they have made violent crimes against individuals in their societies or bypassed their orders, and they violated federal laws, and this is how this is always done.”
