Trump nominates Cameron Hamilton to lead FEMA
President Trump nominated Cameron Hamilton to lead FEMA on Monday, approximately one year after removing him from the role of acting administrator in 2025. Hamilton, a former Navy SEAL, was previously fired after publicly defending the agency's existence against the administration's stated intent to dismantle it. If confirmed by the Senate, he would be FEMA's first permanent administrator in Trump's second term and would oversee the agency as it enters hurricane season.
