FEMA Search and Rescue Chief Resigns
July 21, 2025 at 10:34 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard

“The head of FEMA’s Urban Search and Rescue branch, which runs a network of teams stationed across the country that can swiftly respond to natural disasters, resigned on Monday,” CNN reports.

“Ken Pagurek’s departure comes less than three weeks after a delayed FEMA response to catastrophic flooding in central Texas caused by bureaucratic hurdles put in place by the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees the disaster response agency.”

“Pagurek told colleagues at FEMA that the delay was the tipping point that led to his voluntary departure after months of frustration with the Trump administration’s efforts to dismantle the agency.”

5. we are hurtling to the end of government serving the people. It will be serving the oligarchs. DHS/DOJ will make sure

Yeah, they're "government" but their power has already been subverted for the coup takeover elites.
