WASHINGTON — Cameron Hamilton, the acting administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, has been removed from his position after publicly defending FEMA during congressional testimony and expressing opposition to proposals that would significantly reduce or eliminate the federal disaster-response agency.
During testimony before Congress, Hamilton emphasized the importance of FEMA’s ability to coordinate national disaster responses and provide assistance when emergencies overwhelm state and local resources. His comments reportedly conflicted with the administration’s broader effort to restructure the agency.
The leadership change underscores the political tensions surrounding FEMA’s future and highlights the administration’s determination to advance its proposed reforms.
