A federal judge has ruled that the Trump administration's plan to cut the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) workforce by 50 percent was unlawful. U.S. District Judge Susan Illston determined in her order that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) broke the law when attempting to execute the staffing reduction.
The judicial decision was handed down on a Friday, coinciding with the start of America's hurricane season. The ruling halts the administration's initiative to halve the disaster response agency's personnel.
