US judge rules that Trump plan to halve FEMA workforce violated law

A US judge ruled the Trump administration unlawfully cut FEMA's workforce. The Department of Homeland Security usurped FEMA's authority over its personnel. This action violated a federal law enacted after Hurricane Katrina. The judge found the department acted unlawfully by stopping contract renewals. Remedies and penalties for this ruling will be addressed next month.
