In early 2025, Ms. Comans was directed *by DOGE employees themselves* to continue payments to local governments for sheltering migrants. She followed those orders. Then other DOGE employees found out, and the Trump admin decided to blame her personally and smear her in public for the payments.
early point of confusion was whether the Executive Order required a pause in funding only to nongovernmental organizations or whether it also paused funding to state and local governments. This
was not a decision to be made by the CFO. In fact, as CFO, Ms. Comans had neither the authority
nor the ability to direct money to or away from a particular grant recipient. Defining the scope of
the Executive Order was left to senior DHS or FEMA leadership, their general counsels, or at the
very least other FEMA employees who had direct authority over the grant programs at issue.
Ultimately, the agency’s decision was that payments should continue to state and local
governments. This decision was explicitly approved by employees of the newly
created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) who were embedded with DHS
and were reviewing and approving all funding initiatives. As a result of DOGE’s approval, Ms.
Comans was directed to continue payments to state and local governments.
Thereafter, other DOGE employees embedded with the Department of Treasury claimed
FEMA’s payments to state and local governments violated the President’s Executive Order. What
followed was a series of finger pointing and backtracking that resulted in the decision to blame
Ms. Comans and three other career officials. On February 11, 2025, Ms. Comans was fired and
DHS and DOGE officials began their public campaign to use her as a scapegoat.

WOW. Kristi Noem and Elon Musk, among others, "chose to turn the power of the federal government against a singular employee with an impeccable record of public service. ... The attacks against Ms. Comans were based entirely on false information" and many officials "knew [they] were untrue."
In conducting this hearing, the Court is not called upon to resolve factual disputes between
the parties. The facts set forth in this Memorandum Opinion and Order were proposed by the
Plaintiff, unobjected to by the Government, and then deemed admitted by the Court. Dkts. 74, 75,
77.2 These facts establish that high-ranking government officials, including then Secretary of DHS
Kristi Noem and Elon Musk, engaged in a coordinated public relations campaign to impugn the
personal and professional integrity of Ms. Comans. For reasons unfathomable to this Court,
officials chose to turn the power of the federal government against a singular employee with an
impeccable record of public service. In short, Ms. Comans was professionally targeted and
personally attacked by government officials for no legitimate reason. The attacks against Ms.
Comans were based entirely on false information, and many government officials knew the
accusations were untrue at the time they were made. With no regard for the truth and with no
consideration for the personal and professional effect on Ms. Comans, government officials
exploited their access to mass media outlets to broadcast false information. These false
statements reached hundreds of millions of people. The purpose of this Order is, to the best of
this Court’s ability, to correct the public record and establish as a matter of law that the
statements made by these officials about Ms. Comans were objectively and demonstrably false.

A police search of Flock producing 50 individual records of a woman's whereabouts across the country for an entire month violated her Fourth Amendment rights, Judge Sara E. Hill of Oklahoma's Northern District ruled yesterday. "Why is it the government’s business where everyone goes all the time?"

To be sure, ALPR technology does not provide the same precision in
location information as cell phones. But it could still reveal a lot about a
person’s whereabouts, and it is easy to imagine the kinds of sensitive
information it collects. It could track and log a couple struggling to start a family at the fertility clinic. It could show how often someone visits a liquor store or casino. It could show which doctor someone goes to or what lawyer’s office someone visits. It also collects mundane information about people’s commutes, but it collects a tremendous amount of such information all the time. It is possible that a dedicated team of law enforcement officers could

Case 4:26-cr-00189-SEH Document 62 Filed in USDC ND/OK on 10/01/26 Page 36 of 38

constitutionally collect this information about one car—and its driver—by following that vehicle on public roadways over a month. But this leaves the question of why is it the government’s business where everyone goes all the time? The government cannot go snooping through our personal lives and business without an adequate basis to do so. That is what the Supreme Court has said since its decision in Katz through its decision in Chatrie this year, nearly sixty years later. It is not too much to draw the line at indiscriminate mass surveillance.
