Federal workers are being swept into the fight between Donald Trump and federal courts, with four FEMA aides fired Tuesday for being "deep state activists."

Summary

A senior FEMA official froze grant funding despite a federal judge’s order to resume payments.

Stacey Street, FEMA’s Grant Administration director, emailed subordinates to freeze awards in an urgent email just after the judge’s order.

The freeze affected programs for emergency preparedness, homeland security, firefighting, church security, and tribal safety.

Trump called for FEMA’s termination, criticizing its aid distribution. The White House defended Trump’s executive authority, rejecting court injunctions as politically motivated.

    There is no case, the case already happened. The court issued a decision, they ignored, so then they are in contempt. There’s no crime to litigate, they can leave jail whenever they decide to comply. If they reneg, haul their asses back.
