FEMA Search-And-Rescue Chief RESIGNS After Frustration With Texass Flood Response!!!
July 21, 2025
.​

"The head of FEMA’s Urban Search and Rescue branch, which runs a network of teams stationed across the country that can swiftly respond to natural disasters, resigned on Monday.
.
Ken Pagurek’s departure comes less than three weeks after a delayed FEMA response to catastrophic flooding in central Texass caused by bureaucratic hurdles put in place by the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees the disaster response agency.
.
Pagurek told colleagues at FEMA that the delay was the tipping point that led to his voluntary departure after months of frustration with the Trump administration’s efforts to dismantle the agency, according to two sources familiar with his thinking. It took more than 72 hours after the flooding for Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to authorize the deployment of FEMA’s search and rescue network.
.
The Department of Homeland Security has defended its response to the Texass floods. A department spokesperson stressed that Noem initially tapped into other DHS assets, including rescue teams from the U.S. Coast Guard and Border Patrol, and over time, as a need for FEMA resources arose, those requests received the secretary’s approval."

Trump wants to ABOLISH FEMA. There is no desire by the public to do this.

You should examine your beliefs about what Trump wants before you go around blabbing what is quite likely an erroneous opinion.

Americans like me believe major changes needed to be made after Biden instructed FEMA agents to ignore houses in NC that seemed to be occupied by republicans.

There were some MAGA types who threatened to shoot at FEMA employees that trespassed on their sacred property.
You cannot blame anyone for refusing to risk their lives to help people in a chaotic situation.

If the fraud and abuse cannot be eliminated and if the incompetence cannot be resolved, then just eliminating the program may be the best.

That must be it. Some leftie hireling claimed he was threatened by a MAGA shooter, so Biden ordered all FEMA agents to identify republicans and deny them disaster aid.

People tend to become aware when they are being shot at.
Suppose you were sent off to help some Good Ole Boy that believed Reagan when he said, "The government is not the solution: the government is the problem" and sees ole Rufus P. Shagnasty in Podunk NC waving a shotgun around in a threatening manner: wouldn't you get as far away from him as possible and warn other FEMA workers?

Oh boss! Somebody shot at me. What should I do? Boss: Get with the Biden INS spies and have them give us a map of political affiliations of homeowners so we can make sure no republicans get any relief.
