New Delhi, Oct 05 (ANI): US President Donald Trump along with William Long, administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) have been sued by three New York residents. The residents have filed a lawsuit against them over the new Presidential Alert messaging system. Their concern was that Trump could broadcast arbitrary, biased, irrational messages and there is no way to opt out of the system. The first ‘test result’ was sent out on October 3. The Presidential Alerts are sent to citizens' phones with a loud noise and vibration. The Presidential Alert system enables Trump to deploy alerts of national emergencies.
