California AG Slams Trump's FEMA Cuts After Deadly Texas Storms
California Attorney General Rob Bonta has slammed former President Trump's cuts to risk mitigation funds, putting public safety at risk in the USA. The move has sparked a legal battle with states and prosecutors alleging illegal actions and inadequate foresight, particularly after devastating storms in Texas left over 130 dead and many missing.
Texas was struck by deadly rains on the 4th of July holiday, with the disaster highlighting the consequences of FEMA's budget cuts under the Trump administration. The agency, responsible for protecting the nation from various risks and disasters, was left with meager funds after budget cuts to several agencies, including FEMA.
A group of prosecutors has blamed President Trump for these deaths, citing inadequate foresight by FEMA. Meanwhile, twenty state prosecutors have sued the Trump administration to reverse the termination of FEMA's BRIC program, which funds disaster prevention. California's Attorney General Rob Bonta has criticized these cuts, stating they endanger public safety in the united states. Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes has warned of the Trump Administration's 'open hostility' in providing aid to states in case of disasters.
The Trump administration's cuts to FEMA's budget and the BRIC program have left states vulnerable to disasters. With Texas as a grim example, states are now fighting back, suing the Trump administration to restore these vital funds and protect their citizens in the us.
