The Federal Emergency Management Agency has put some employees who signed off on the agency’s letter of dissent to Congress on indefinite leave. This has now raised great concern over whether Donald Trump is enforcing retribution against federal employees who disagree with some of his directives.
Current and former members of the Federal Emergency Management Agency wrote a letter to Congress dissenting from some of Donald Trump’s directives to the agency, warning that they may lead to a situation as dire as the response to Hurricane Katrina if his directives continue without pushback. Some employees signed off on the letter anonymously, fearing retribution. Their worst fears were realized when two of the signatories were officially placed on indefinite administrative leave.
