The deposed Fema Chief Financial Officer has accused Elon Musk and the Trump administration of firing her for no reason for something that a Lieutenant of Doge told her to do.
Mary Comans was dumped without mercy from her role in the Federal Emergency Management Agency and publicly accused of a 'deep state activist'.
Comans was accused of illegally sending FEMA -money to New York City to book luxury hotels for migrants without papers.
Comans spoke with CBS about her resignation, said that following orders directly from the Department of Public Efficiency led her the job.
“I was illegally dismissed by the Trump administration for doing my work, because I had done exactly what I had to do by the Trump political instructed at the Department of Homeland Security and at De Doge,” she claimed.
“They told me to do these actions, make these payments, and then she fired me.”
She explained that Musk's right hand at Doge, Brad Smith, asked her if FEMA had continued the things as usual under the new administration and “very clear” that it would be “right” to make payments.
So the 21-year-old Fema veteran was stunned when Musk went to X on 10 February to write that his department just discovered that FEMA sent $ 59 million to luxury hotels in New York City last week to accommodate illegal migrants.

The Department of Musk has fueled protests while pursuing entire federal departments
“Sending this money has violated the law and is in gross insubordination to the executive order of the president,” he wrote.
When Comans arrived at the office later that day, she met her boss, who, according to her, was just as surprised.
“I told him that I would compile an after-action report in which each of the conversations, the dates, the actions that FEMA undertook to show that we were the hand within the guidelines of the Trump administration,” Comans said.
“He thanked me, hugged me and again assured me that no one would be fired at FEMA for making these payments.”
The next day a colleague entered her office to tell her that she was immediately terminated, into force.
She now sues FEMA and the Department of Homeland Security for illegal termination, with persistent that it was released 'without reason or the appropriate process that is required by law and the Constitution'.
Comans said she started earning back the insulting funds on the same day that she saw Musk's tweet.
Her name began to spread over X for the first time, fed by conservative commentators and right -wing accounts that accuse her of defying the orders of Trump.

Later the same day, the Department of Homeland Security issued a statement that claims Comans that has considerably damaged its reputation.
It stated: 'Immediately FEMA terminates the employment of four people for circumventing leadership to make one -sided payments for luxury NYC hotels for migrants.
'Fire atmosphere includes the financial officer of FEMA, two program analysts and a subsidy specialist.
“President Trump and the leadership of Secretary Name will not be unemployed and deep state activists allow to undermine the will and safety of the American people.”
Musk shared a message about Comans and wrote: “A criminal action.”
Comans said that the department to which she was committed – apolitic in different administrations for 21 years – “Mr. Musk and others allowed to estimate my name.”
“The department has been without an idiot and in some respects they have joined that choir to say false statements about me,” she said.
Comans said she is not sure if there is money in the world that can make up for what she has experienced.

She is looking for a fee, but above all she wants to 'delete her name' and, if possible, a chance to return to her work.
Because of her 21-year career, Comans had never had to deal with disciplinary measures and consistently 'reached Excellency' feedback in its annual assessments.
Her lawsuit states: 'Since the inauguration of President Trump on January 20, 2025, an unprecedented number of federal employees with the protection of officials, including Mrs. Comans (and also the special counselor in the office of special counselor, the director of the Office of Government Ethics, and eighteen Inspector, for only a few reasonable -general -general to name -general -general to name -general -general to name -general to name -general to name -general to name -general agents -general -general -general -general agencies, general -general, general -general of the general agencies. Or appropriate process. '
FEMA was in the direct shooting line of Doge at Trump's return to the White House.
Name that a Clawback balance had enabled the federal government to return the $ 59 million to fully accommodate illegal migrants.
These four and five-star hotels were paid by the government to accommodate illegal migrants in direct contradiction with the orders of Trump while he wants to perform the greatest massive deportation in American history.
