Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has fired two dozen employees at the Federal Emergency Management Agency amid the Trump administration’s crackdown on the disaster response agency.

The Department of Homeland Security announced Friday evening that Noem had terminated 24 FEMA workers, including top officials, for having “brazenly neglected basic security protocols.”
