Acting FEMA Administrator Cameron Hamilton was fired Thursday, a day after testifying before Congress against disbanding the agency. His testimony contradicted President Trump's and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's suggestions to downsize or eliminate FEMA. Hamilton stated that disbanding FEMA would not be in the best interest of the American people. David Richardson is now the interim FEMA administrator. This change occurs weeks before hurricane season.
