Judge rules Trump unlawfully ended FEMA disaster prevention programme
AI Summary
In December 2025, a US District Judge ruled that the Trump administration unlawfully ended the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) program, a FEMA initiative designed to help communities prepare for natural disasters. The ruling came in response to a lawsuit filed by 20 states, primarily led by Democrats. Judge Stearns stated that the administration lacked the authority to terminate the program, as it represented an encroachment on Congress's power to allocate funds. The BRIC program is FEMA's largest resiliency initiative and aims to reduce disaster risks and improve recovery efforts. The court's decision prevents the federal government from terminating funding that supports communities in mitigating the impacts of natural disasters.
