I had to read this two or three times to make sure I was getting it right:

Residents of trailer parks set up by the Federal Emergency Management Agency to house hurricane victims in Louisiana aren’t allowed to talk to the press without an official escort, The (Baton Rouge) Advocate reported.

In one instance, a security guard ordered an Advocate reporter out of a trailer during an interview in Morgan City. Similar FEMA rules were enforced in Davant, in Plaquemines Parish.

FEMA spokeswoman Rachel Rodi wouldn’t say whether the security guards’ actions complied with FEMA policy, saying the matter was being reviewed. But she confirmed that FEMA does not allow the news media to speak alone to residents in their trailers.

"If a resident invites the media to the trailer, they have to be escorted by a FEMA representative who sits in on the interview," Rodi told the newspaper for its July 15 report. "That’s just a policy."

A policy?  It’s a violation of the First Amendment.  Actually, it violates two parts of the First Amendment: freedom of speech and freedom of the press.

These Katrina victims lost their homes.  They lost their homes and are now living in trailer parks — not internment camps.  They can talk to whomever they please on any subject they please, and the government cannot monitor or prohibit any conversation.

Very bizarre.
