Rep. Jared Moskowitz said he doesn't believe the West Wing is aware of the "damage" Noem has caused to the agency.

Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem is facing intense backlash after CNN reported that she slowed federal resources to the devastating Texas floods.

Noem ordered that every FEMA contract and grant worth that exceeds $100,000 must cross her desk for approval, CNN reported in June. The latest reporting by the outlet insinuated that this rule “stripped [FEMA] of much of its autonomy” during the flood, which raged across at least six counties and killed over 120 people in the early hours of July 4.
