Less than a year after being fired, former FEMA chief is set to be reinstalled by Trump
The move signals a reversal from earlier plans to shrink FEMA, after the agency cut roughly 30% of its workforce under Kristi Noem, officials said.
- President Donald Trump plans to nominate Cameron Hamilton to lead the Federal Emergency Management Agency less than a year after his abrupt firing, three people familiar with the decision told CNN.
- Hamilton was ousted last May after publicly opposing the administration's plan to dismantle FEMA during Capitol Hill testimony, directly clashing with then-Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and adviser Corey Lewandowski.
- Noem's prior overhaul cut roughly 30% of FEMA's workforce and triggered nationwide backlash from state officials and Republican lawmakers over the resulting multibillion-dollar funding backlog.
- Under Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, the administration has begun rolling back Noem-era policies and adopting a more supportive tone toward FEMA while awaiting a report from the FEMA Review Council.
