Un plan de concedieri în masă decis de administraţia Trump, declarat ilegal de instanță. „Atribuțiile au fost uzurpate”
A federal judge ruled that the Trump administration's plan to cut FEMA's workforce by 50% was illegal, citing usurpation of authority. The judge ordered discussions to address the agency's complaint regarding resource distribution for disaster recovery. Although major layoffs haven't occurred, FEMA has already let go of 4,300 employees in fiscal year 2025, marking a significant increase in departures. Additionally, proposed federal reimbursement cuts for local governments after disasters further exacerbate the situation, alongside substantial budget reductions for climate forecasting programs.
