"The federal response to the deadly flooding in Texas was hampered by a Department of Homeland Security policy implemented by Secretary Kristi Noem, CNN reported on Wednesday night.

Late last week, floodwaters from the Guadalupe River overwhelmed towns in parts of central Texas, where nearly 120 people have died in the flooding. CNN reported on Wednesday that officials at the Federal Emergency Management Agency sprang into action, but soon found their response hobbled by a new policy at DHS, which oversees FEMA. Per the new rule, the department’s secretary must personally sign off on all contracts or grants of more than $100,000."
