FEMA reinstates whistleblowers and senior officials removed under Kristi Noem
FEMA has reinstated whistleblowers who signed an open letter in August warning of agency collapse under Trump administration policies, as well as senior officials placed on paid administrative leave over a year ago. The reinstatements are part of Secretary Markwayne Mullin's effort to stabilize FEMA following Kristi Noem's ouster as DHS Secretary. Noem's tenure involved dismantling senior leadership, cutting over 20% of the workforce, and proposing to eliminate the agency entirely.
