I'm kind of confused by the whole angle of this story. There is just something that doesn't ring true to it all. Why would FEMA find the need to hide the fact that drug dealers that were evacuated out of NOLA were still dealing drugs? Why do we believe everything that a few residents of the trailer park said to this reporter? Maybe they are just trying to protect the privacy of the people, so they don't have hordes of reporters who are just trying to find some dirt bothering the people all the time. It just sounds like the same old FEMA bashing crap to me.
I just did a google search on Baker FEMA trailer park. It doesn't sound like reporters have had such a hard time getting in there. There were a ton of different articles from different reporters. There is even an article from the BBC about the Baker park -

It says Baker's security is provided by the local sheriff's department. The two residents they talked to said they liked the place.
