In the wake of Hurricane Helene, FEMA crews in North Carolina are facing dangers from armed militia groups, halting vital aid delivery to affected areas.
Amidst widespread anti-government conspiracy theories, FEMA had to address misinformation alleging they were seizing land after the hurricane, raising safety concerns for relief workers.
Warnings from U.S. Forest Service about militants targeting federal responders forced FEMA to adjust its operations; however, the National Guard has not reported any armed encounters.
Political claims suggesting that the federal government is reallocating disaster relief funds to assist undocumented immigrants have fueled discontent, despite President Biden's substantial funding announcement for hurricane relief.
