O judecătoare din SUA declară ilegal planul de reducere cu 50% a personalului Agenţiei Federale pentru Situaţiile de Urgenţă

A U.S. federal judge ruled against President Trump's plan to cut FEMA's workforce by 50%, deeming it illegal. The judge's decision followed a lawsuit by the American Federation of Government Employees, which challenged the Department of Homeland Security's proposal to reduce FEMA's staff from 23,000 to 11,500 by fiscal year 2026. Although the cuts have not fully materialized, FEMA has already laid off 4,300 employees in fiscal year 2025. The ruling highlighted that DHS acted unlawfully by undermining FEMA's authority over its personnel. Additionally, proposed federal disaster reimbursement cuts and significant reductions in climate forecasting programs were noted.
