In a swift move by the Trump administration, the acting administrator of FEMA has been removed from his position just one day after testifying before Congress. This decision follows his outspoken opposition to plans for diminishing the agency, where he asserted that eliminating FEMA would not be in the best interest of the American people. The dismissal highlights ongoing tensions regarding the future of FEMA and echoes a broader strategy by the Trump administration to restructure federal disaster response efforts. Critics are questioning the implications for disaster preparedness as the agency heads into hurricane season.
