Senator Ruben Gallego calls for an investigation into DHS Secretary Noem's handling of Texas flooding response.
Quiver AI Summary
Senator Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) has called for a formal investigation into DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's response to recent flooding in Central Texas that resulted in over 130 deaths and left more than 170 individuals missing. Along with Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Gallego expressed concerns regarding the "catastrophic failure" in handling the crisis, stating that a new DHS policy requiring Secretary Noem's approval for FEMA expenditures over $100,000 contributed to significant delays in the emergency response. The senators highlighted that this bureaucratic red tape undermined FEMA's typical procedure of pre-emptively deploying resources for disasters.
Furthermore, they noted that these delays in action, coupled with staffing cuts at FEMA, led to critical resource deployments being postponed, which the senators argue are unacceptable during such emergencies. In their letter addressed to DHS Inspector General Joseph V. Cuffari, they emphasized that the American people deserve accountability and swift responses in disaster situations, thus requesting a full investigation into FEMA's handling of the Texas floods.
