DHS fires FEMA workers for sexting and accessing pornography on the job

Two FEMA workers were fired in the last two weeks for engaging in sexually explicit conversations online and accessing pornography while on the job, using their encrypted government devices.

The agency used its Insider Threat program to identify the individuals, according to a post on X.

"The DHS Insider Threat Program (ITP) has identified a second group of FEMA employees who used their official government equipment to engage in sexually explicit conduct on government devices at some of our government’s most classified facilities," DHS posted on Monday.

"These employees, who had access to highly sensitive systems, spent their duty hours sexting strangers, including foreign nationals, on encrypted government devices. Such conduct is unacceptable, and these employees have been terminated," the post continued.

Top security

One of the employees fired worked in the IT Services division and had a top secret security clearance.

That employee was in frequent contact with a person believed to be in the Philippines, and the two exchanged racy messages over Facebook Messenger.

“[I] can’t bring my phone inside my workplace, so I leave it in the car. Only chat here on FB Messenger while I’m working,” one message said.

“I wish you were here sitting in my lap while I work,” another one read. “I want to hug your waist while I work and smell your hair, kiss your neck.”

The employee also used government resources to search hotels in the Philippines and said they wanted to visit in November or December.

More firings

The other employee, who worked as an environmental protection specialist in Alabama, “repeatedly accessed a pornography site on the agency’s unclassified network" and chatted with multiple people.

At least one pornographic image was shared using the network.

Two other DHS employees were fired last week for accessing  “deviant pornography” – including bestiality and “racially charged” material--during working hours.

“These individuals had access to critical information and intelligence and were entrusted to safeguard Americans from emergencies—and instead they were consuming pornography,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said about the  workers last week.

The government definitely doesn't need workers like that using their work computers to break the law and act unethically. Good riddance to them!
