Suspensions at FEMA are just the latest example of the Trump administration targeting critics of the president or his perceived political enemies.

The last week has seen an FBI search of the home and office of Trump's former national security advisor and an attempt to remove a member of the Federal Reserve Board.

Being the focus of Trump's ire is something that Miles Taylor knows all too well.

While serving in the Department of Homeland Security during President Trump's first administration,

I mean, look, I wanted Donald Trump to be successful in the first Trump administration.

When I came into that administration, though, and I saw with what regularity the president cooked up ideas that were so obviously illegal on their face, that made me and a lot of other people

very, very worried. And we felt like we needed to go out and tell folks that that was the case.

Unfortunately, you know, he's come back into office and a lot of those things he wanted to do

that lawyers did not think were lawful. He is carrying out. And many of those are focused on revenge

against his enemies.

You've talked last time when we spoke, you said how people warned you against speaking out and fighting back
