Cameron Hamilton nominerad till permanent chef för FEMA

Cameron Hamilton, som fick sparken från sin roll som tillförordnad chef för Federal Emergency Management Agency förra året, har nu nominerats till att leda myndigheten på permanent basis.

Hamilton utsågs till tillförordnad chef när den andra Trump-administrationen tillträdde i januari 2025. Han fick sparken offentligt efter att ha vittnat inför kongressen om att en avveckling av FEMA inte låg i det amerikanska folkets intresse. Ytterligare två tillförordnade chefer följde innan den nuvarande nomineringen ett år senare.
