"Cameron Hamilton was acting agency chief last year until he was fired amid clashes with Kristi Noem."
"President Donald Trump nominated a former leader of the Federal Emergency Management Agency to run the agency — a year after he was fired.
Cameron Hamilton, who was FEMA’s acting administrator for nearly four months last year, lost his job a year ago after defending the disaster-response agency in a congressional hearing. It came after Trump threatened to make FEMA “go away.”
On Monday, he formally nominated Hamilton as the first permanent agency head in the current Trump administration. It requires Senate confirmation."
