HOW DARE YOU DO YOUR JOB: CNN reports on the latest instance of the Trump administration just casually deciding without cause or, seemingly, legal basis that they’re gonna fire folks in the government: The Department of Homeland Security announced Tuesday that it fired four Federal Emergency Management Agency officials over payments provided to New York City to house migrants, arguing without evidence that the officials circumvented leadership. . . . The payments appear to stem from an existing program that was the target of Republican attacks during the 2024 presidential campaign. The Shelter and Services Program is administered by FEMA, in partnership with US Customs and Border Protection, to aid cities sheltering migrants. It is a separate pot of money unrelated to disaster relief. In fiscal year 2024, Congress appropriated $650 million for the program, according to the agency. It’s not enough, apparently, that the Trump administration is claiming the power to make law and spend money in contravention of statutes passed by Congress and signed by the president. Now the administration is firing executive branch employees for executing the laws passed by Congress and signed by the president. One doesn’t have to squint to see a wrongful termination lawsuit coming.
