FEMA employees critical of Trump placed on leave

Season 2025 Episode 239 | 6m 37s

About two dozen FEMA employees have been placed on leave after they signed an open letter criticizing the Trump administration’s cuts and personnel decisions. The letter warns the cuts undermine the progress FEMA has made after Hurricane Katrina, a storm that slammed the Gulf Coast 20 years ago this week. Amna Nawaz discussed the changes with Craig Fugate, the FEMA administrator from 2009 to 2017.
