Two additional Federal Emergency Management Agency employees have been fired for using their government devices to sext foreign nationals and upload pornography.

An internal investigation conducted by the Department of Homeland Security’s Insider Threat Program (ITP) found that the two employees had been using government systems to engage in sexually explicit behavior, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem announced on Monday.

It comes one week after DHS’s Insider Threat Operations Center (ITOC) found two other FEMA employees had been using their government-issued devices to consume ‘deviant pornography’ while at work.

‘This behavior and misuse of government resources is absolutely disgusting. The revolting actions of these employees, now the second group to be caught at FEMA engaged in such acts, represents a clear national security risk,’ Noem said 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 investigation found that one of the fired employees, who has not been identified, had multiple sexually explicit conversations with a Filipino national through Facebook Messenger while on the FEMA network.

Messages reviewed by ITP found graphic sexual content, references to a Filipino dating group and plans to visit the foreign national later this year, according to DHS.

Documents obtained by the Daily Caller showed in one message the FEMA employee wrote, ‘I saw your post on a Philippine dating group here, so I messaged you,’ and later referenced ‘Manila, Philippines,’ and mentioned plans to visit in ‘November or December.’

Another message from August 28 showed the employee said, ‘but 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.’

In the same exchange, the employee also wrote, ‘I wish you were here sitting in my lap while I work,’ and, ‘I want to hug your waist while I work and smell your hair, kiss your neck.’

The second FEMA employee used his official government workstation to access an adult website to engage in multiple graphic conversations and upload an image of male genitalia to the platform.

This employee was identified as an Environmental Protection Specialist in FEMA’s Environmental Historic Preservation office in Alabama.

Investigation documents show the employee had made multiple sexual comments and uploaded a pornographic image from a file labeled ‘work memes’ to a user identified as ‘tooMessyForMe’ between August 30 and August 31.

On September 2, two employees who were tasked with protecting the United States from terrorist attacks were fired over their ‘deviant’ porn habits.

Both of the employees were stationed at the isolated Mount Weather Emergency Ops Center outside of Bluemont, Virginia, which focuses on preventing national emergencies, terror attacks and nuclear disasters.

One of the unidentified employees was said to be fascinated by ‘bestial fantasies’ as well as ‘racism-infused sexual encounters,’ the New York Post reported.

The ITOC also flagged him on July 12 for using his work device to type phrases into a chatbot so that it could be read aloud in another accent.

The other employee also allegedly had ‘extensive interactions’ with others on Reddit and shared sexually graphic videos and photos, some of which were said to be ‘racially charged.’

He had allegedly logged onto the forum website at least 578 times over a 30-day period.

‘These individuals had access to critical information and intelligence and were entrusted to safeguard Americans from emergencies – and instead they were consuming pornography,’ Noem said.

In addition to the employees’ actions, the internal investigation found that as many as 47 percent of all FEMA workers are regularly on social media platforms that also contain easily accessible content.

‘Under President Trump’s leadership, we are clearing house at FEMA to make this dysfunctional agency work for the American people the way it was intended,’ Noem said as she announced the two employees’ termination.

‘For decades, these bureaucrats engaged in every act imaginable except safeguarding the American people from natural disasters,’ she continued. ‘That ends now.’

The terminations come after FEMA has faced increased scrutiny over it’s handling of recent natural disasters.

One report found that thousands of calls to FEMA went unanswered following the Texas floods after contracts weren’t renewed.

Nearly two-thirds of calls to the disaster assistance line went unanswered in the two days after the floods, which killed 121 people, a source told the New York Times.

It came after hundreds of contractors at call centers were fired on July 5 after their contracts lapsed and weren’t extended, according to documents obtained by the outlet.

Shortly after taking office for his second term, Trump floated the idea of dismantling FEMA in the wake of the LA Fires and Hurricane Helene in North Carolina.

‘FEMA has really let us down, let the country down. And I don’t know if that’s Biden’s fault or whose fault that is,’ Trump told reporters after he touched down in Asheville. ‘We’re going to take over, we’re going to do a good job.

‘We’re looking at the whole concept of FEMA,’ Trump said. ‘I like, frankly, the concept when North Carolina gets hit, the governor takes care of it. When Florida gets hit, the governor takes care of it. Meaning the state takes care of it … I’d like to see the states take care of disasters.
