State Leaders Call on New Mexico FEMA Claims Director to Resign
Brian Colón, Managing Partner at Singleton Schreiber, was featured by KRQE News 13 in an article titled “State Leaders Call on New Mexico FEMA Claims Director to Resign,” published on February 2, 2026.
In the article, Colón discusses the leadership of FEMA’s Hermits Peak/Calf Canyon Claims Office. He represents hundreds affected by the Hermits Peak–Calf Canyon Fire and raises concerns about communications from the claims office director and the administration of the federal claims process.
The coverage highlights oversight and accountability issues in the wildfire compensation program, including concerns about professionalism, transparency, and delays in distributing relief funds. State officials and New Mexico’s congressional delegation question whether the claims office is operating fairly and effectively.
“Enough’s enough. Let’s get somebody in here who can do the job, fix a broken system, and compensate northern New Mexicans the way they deserve to be compensated,” said Colón.
