Trump Signs Executive Order to Overhaul FEMA

President Trump signed an executive order to cut diversity, equity, and inclusion programs within the federal government, demanding termination of federal workers with DEI positions and a review of DEI policies and goals.
The order also asks government leaders to investigate agencies that relabeled DEI programs before the November election, causing political uproar regarding the Air Force curriculum.
Senator Katie Britt stated that newly appointed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will correct the Air Force's decision to exclude contributions of women pilots and Black Tuskegee Airmen, which Hegseth confirmed was reversed.
Trump's executive order also aims to restructure the Federal Emergency Management Agency, establishing a review council to evaluate and recommend reforms amid criticisms of biased disaster responses against Republican-led states.
