Trump administration faces deadline for FEMA reforms under new Department of Homeland Security leadership.
AI Summary
Markwayne Mullin has taken over as head of the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees FEMA, as the Trump administration faces a self-imposed deadline this week for reforms to the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
