Former Federal Emergency Management Agency employees wrote a letter to Congress with strongly worded criticism of Donald Trump’s recent overhaul of the agency, making very concerning claims that FEMA now risks repeating the same mistakes made during Hurricane Katrina.
This is not the first letter written by a federal agency to Congress. Just recently, the CDC took the same route after its headquarters in Atlanta was shot at by a lone gunman. Employees at the agency demanded that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. strongly disavow the conspiracies spread by his supporters, conspiracies that have fueled public distrust of government agencies. What stands out in both these letters is the number of anonymous signatories, who chose not to reveal their identities out of fear of politically motivated retaliation.
