Kristi Noem under fire over deadly Texas floods, faces resignation calls for delaying FEMA response for 72 hours

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is under fire and is facing calls to resignation following the Texas floods due to new disaster relief reforms. Critics allege her policy requiring personal sign-off on spending over $100,000 delayed critical aid, including search and rescue team deployment. Callers to FEMAs disaster call center have also been forced to wait longer for a response since Noems signature was needed to bring in additional staff.
