Trump's firing of FEMA leader plunges disaster agency into uncertainty
by Rachel Frazin and Brett Samuels - 05/11/25 12:00 PM ET
The dismissal of acting Federal Emergency Management Agency head Cameron Hamilton plunges an already fraught agency into deeper uncertainty.
Hamilton was fired from the agency Thursday after he said eliminating FEMA would not be in the "best interest" of the American people " contradicting pushes to do so from President Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
Former agency officials criticized what they described as the loss of a steady leader at an agency already dealing with uncertainty amid the elimination push.
"It's not what FEMA needed ... 20 days from hurricane season ... to lose their administrator and to have more turbulence," said Pete Gaynor, who led the agency during the first Trump administration.
