The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) reportedly suspended employees who criticized President Trump's cuts and alleged interference. These employees signed a letter warning of potential future disasters. FEMA's spokesperson defended the actions, stating their priority is disaster survivors, not protecting inefficient systems. This follows scrutiny of US disaster preparedness after recent Texas floods and Trump's proposed FEMA overhaul, which led to significant staff departures.
