US Judge Rules Trump Administration Order to Fire FEMA Staffers Illegal
A U.S. federal judge has ruled that an order by the Trump administration to fire thousands of Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) staffers was illegal. The judge found that the administration's directive violated the law. This ruling comes as another federal judge had previously blocked an order by the Trump administration restricting mail-in voting. The latter order was frozen by a second judge, with the Supreme Court potentially poised to weigh in on the mail-in voting issue.
