Alvin Brown was appointed as the vice chair of the National Transportation Safety Board by President Joe Biden late last year.

The White House on Monday removed the vice chair of the National Transportation Safety Board, the latest in a series of dismissals by President Donald Trump from independent U.S. government agencies.

The Trump administration removed ​​Alvin Brown a little more than a year after he was sworn in. The White House didn’t say why he was removed. Brown was major of Jacksonville from 2011 to 2015.
