Joseph Mazzara
Joseph Mazzara is the acting General Counsel for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), who recently faced scrutiny for his guidance concerning federal funding related to the Shelter and Services Program. Following a controversial directive from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Mazzara's emails indicated that while funding for NGOs should be paused, payments to state and local governments could continue, leading to confusion and subsequent firings of FEMA officials, including Chief Financial Officer Mary Comans.
