For former Fema official who was fired by migrants who stayed in the demand for hotels ‘luxury’ files

A former Top Fema official who was eliminated as part of the political setback on payments to New York City for migrant accommodation in what critics called “luxury hotels” have sued the Trump administration, claiming that he was “illegally dismissed from his position” without due process.

Mary Comans, who served as FEMA financial director since 2017, affirms in the demand that her dismissal led her to be “falsely condemned online” by prominent people, including the technological billionaire Elon Musk, who has supervised government reduction measures as the head of the newly formed government efficiency department.

Comans’ demand, presented in the Columbia district on Tuesday, says it was fired “without prior notice.” The lawsuit says that the government “could not undertake any process to allow Mrs. Comans to respond properly” to the accusations, and then presented a press release that she affirms that she was in violation of the Privacy Law.

“In addition, the defendants falsely, deliberately and publicly the actions of Mrs. Comans in such a way that third parties have affirmed that their conduct has been criminal, which is defamation per se, contributing even more to the damage it has suffered,” says the presentation.

The lawsuit says that the press release led to its action being “widely, publicly and falsely condemned” by influential people online, including Musk. The demand includes a screenshot of one of Musk’s tweets that responds to a publication about Comans, in which he wrote that he had committed “a criminal action.”

“Before its termination, Mrs. Comans was an exemplary employee without any disciplinary history and had received” excellence reached “qualifications for each year that served as SES,” says the presentation.

Comans has asked a judge for a statement that DHS and FEMA actions were illegal, and has requested monetary damage.
