FEMA Boss Fired After Remarks To Congress

Cameron Hamilton, the acting head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), was dismissed after publicly testifying before Congress in opposition to the elimination of the agency, directly contradicting President Trump’s efforts to diminish FEMA’s role and transfer disaster relief responsibilities to state governments.

Hamilton’s removal was swiftly confirmed by the administration, with David Richardson, a longtime FEMA official, being named as the interim replacement. The firing underscores the administration’s determination to push forward with its agenda of reducing federal oversight in disaster management, despite resistance from career emergency response professionals.

This dismissal follows a series of controversial actions within FEMA, including the termination of several officials involved in a $59 million payment to house undocumented immigrants in luxury hotels during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Trump has repeatedly criticized FEMA’s spending and operational efficiency, arguing that states are better equipped to manage disaster responses without federal intervention. His administration has framed the shift as a cost-saving measure that would streamline emergency response, but critics argue it ignores the logistical and financial challenges many states face in handling large-scale disasters independently.
