Fema staff who signed letter criticizing agency under Trump placed on leave

Organizers say it's likely they've retaliated against all public signers' of letter about capacity to respond to disasters

Trump's Federal Emergency Management Agency (Fema) has placed some agency staff on leave after their signing of a public letter of dissent this week.

Among those facing potential retaliation are staff who were directly responsible for relief efforts in Kerr county, Texas, which is still reeling from the deadly floods it faced last month, according to Stand Up for Science, the advocacy group that published the Monday letter.
