FEMA To End Disaster Recovery Operations By Oct. 1

The Washington Post reports:

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi L. Noem and other Trump administration officials expressed support in meetings this week for dramatically diminishing the role of the FEMA, with the aim of all but eliminating the embattled agency’s role in disaster recovery by Oct. 1.

Asked about the discussions, a DHS spokesperson said in an email, “We are grateful that the press is covering Secretary Noem’s efforts to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse within the Department of Homeland Security.”

“Eliminating FEMA will dramatically hurt red states. It will hurt rural areas. It will hurt cities. Places will not recover,” Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Florida) said in an interview Wednesday.

President Trump and I have a clear message to criminal illegal aliens: LEAVE NOW.

If you do not leave, we will hunt you down, arrest you, and you could end up in this El Salvadorian prison. pic.twitter.com/OItDqNsFxM
