Warnock | W000790 | www.warnock.senate.gov | warnock | https://www.warnock.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/ | scraper | Unanimously confirmed Alvin Brown was illegally fired from the independent National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) NTSB investigates transportation accidents, including the tragic DCA collision that killed 68 in January Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock (D-GA) released the following statement on the illegal firing of Alvin Brown, a unanimously Senate-confirmed member of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). Brown’s replacement will be voted on today in the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation despite pending litigation on the legality of Mr. Brown’s firing. “We rely on our federal aviation regulators to keep millions of Georgians safe during air travel,” said Senator Reverend Warnock. “I’m deeply troubled by the illegal firing of Brown. Americans feel confident boarding flights every day in part because of the independent work of the NTSB safety investigators. The President’s move to replace board members without cause undermines the board’s ability to investigate transportation accidents like the DCA crash and ensure these kinds of tragedies never happen again.” The President also fired Robert Primus from the U.S. Surface Transportation Board without cause. Both men have filed lawsuits challenging their dismissals. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:09:11Z |
