US judge rules that Trump plan to halve FEMA workforce violated law - Reuters

A US judge has ruled that the Trump administration violated the law by attempting to halve the FEMA workforce. The court determined that the administration unlawfully usurped the authority of FEMA and breached post-Katrina reform legislation. This legal decision confirms that the plan to significantly reduce the agency's personnel was an illegal exercise of power, contradicting established statutory requirements designed to ensure the effectiveness of disaster response and management within the federal government.
