Today, @Sec_Noem announced the termination of two dozen members of the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s IT department after it was discovered that they brazenly neglected basic security protocols.
This vulnerability was only discovered because Secretary Noem ordered a review of all of FEMA’s operations and IT systems. A routine cybersecurity review uncovered several severe lapses in security that allowed the threat actor to breach FEMA’s network and threaten the entire Department and the nation as a whole.
FEMA spent nearly half a billion dollars on IT and cybersecurity measures in Fiscal Year 2025 alone and delivered virtually nothing for the American people.

FEMA’s career IT leadership failed on every level. Their incompetence put the American people at risk.
When DHS stepped in to fix the problem, entrenched bureaucrats worked to prevent us from solving the problem and downplayed just how bad this breach was. These deep-state individuals were more interested in covering up their failures than in protecting the Homeland and American citizens’ personal data, so I terminated them immediately.
The American people deserve results from their government.
