The acting administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency has been fired one day after he broke with fellow members of the administration when he told lawmakers he does not support dismantling the agency, a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson confirmed to CNN.Cameron Hamilton, who was appointed by President Donald Trump, was escorted out of FEMA바카라 게임 웹사이트�s headquarters on Thursday, according to multiple sources familiar with the situation.바카라 게임 웹사이트�It바카라 게임 웹사이트�s at the discretion of (Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem) to have the personnel she prefers,바카라 게임 웹사이트� DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin told CNN, confirming that DHS official David Richardson will take over for Hamilton effective immediately. McLaughlin declined to explain why Hamilton was removed from the post.The move comes one day after Hamilton defended FEMA during testimony in front of the House Appropriations Committee.바카라 게임 웹사이트�As the senior advisor to the President on disasters and emergency management, and to the Secretary of Homeland Security, I do not believe it is in the best interest the American people to eliminate the Federal Emergency Management Agency,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Hamilton told the committee Wednesday. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Having said that, I am not in a position to make decisions and impact outcomes on whether or not a determination as consequential as that should be made. That is a conversation that should be had between the President of the United States and this governing body.바카라 게임 웹사이트�For months, both Trump and Noem, whose Department of Homeland Security oversees FEMA, have called for the agency to be 바카라 게임 웹사이트�eliminated.바카라 게임 웹사이트� On Tuesday, Noem reaffirmed that stance when she took questions from the same House committee.바카라 게임 웹사이트�President Trump has been very clear since the beginning that he believes that FEMA and its response in many, many circumstances has failed the American people, and that FEMA, as it exists today, should be eliminated in empowering states to respond to disasters with federal government support.바카라 게임 웹사이트� Noem told the committee.Hamilton struck a starkly different tone in his testimony. He repeatedly praised FEMA바카라 게임 웹사이트�s staff 바카라 게임 웹사이트� calling them 바카라 게임 웹사이트�one of the greatest workforces in the entire federal government바카라 게임 웹사이트� 바카라 게임 웹사이트� stressing that his goal is to cut bureaucratic red tape and refocus the agency and its budget on its core mission of delivering assistance to survivors after only the most devastating natural disasters, shifting responsibility for smaller disasters onto the states. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�The (FEMA) workforce is tremendous and amazing, and they do a lot of great work, but there바카라 게임 웹사이트�s also systems and processes that are completely antiquated and have to be improved.바카라 게임 웹사이트� Hamilton said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�FEMA is all too often used by states and public officials as a financial backstop for routine issues that frankly should be handled locally. This misalignment has fostered a culture of dependency, waste, inefficiency, while also delaying crucial aid to Americans who are in genuine need.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Trump and Noem have repeatedly criticized FEMA as partisan, inefficient, and unnecessary. The administration has claimed FEMA uses 바카라 게임 웹사이트�woke바카라 게임 웹사이트� ideologies to appropriate funds.As CNN previously reported, the Trump administration is considering raising the threshold to qualify for federal disaster assistance, which could drastically reduce the number of major disaster declarations that the president approves. Top officials from DHS have also discussed dismantling FEMA in the months ahead.But Hamilton told lawmakers the reforms underway at FEMA should be done slowly and carefully.바카라 게임 웹사이트�This will not be a radical transition in an instant,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Hamilton said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�This has to occur in a phased approach, where we mentor states and locals on building capacity and capability.바카라 게임 웹사이트�CNN previously reported that Hamilton was given a lie detector test just days after taking part in a meeting with top DHS officials for a policy discussion on the future of FEMA and how to potentially dismantle the agency. That closed-door meeting was reported by CNN and other media outlets. At least a dozen other FEMA officials have also been polygraphed by DHS in recent weeks, primarily for alleged media leaks.
