US court blocks Trump plan to cut FEMA workforce; president vows to abolish agency

A US court has blocked the Trump administration's plan to reduce the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) workforce, a move the president has said is a step toward abolishing the agency. The ruling is a judicial check on executive action, but the administration's broader intent to dismantle FEMA remains. This is a domestic political-legal conflict with implications for disaster response capacity.
