Justice Department Loses 4,000 Employees

  • The US Justice Department confirmed on Tuesday that 4,000 employees departed under President Trump's workforce reduction initiative.
  • This downsizing came from the intentional 'fork in the road' deferred resignation program offering incentives to exit government service voluntarily.
  • The department plans further cuts including 1,500 FBI positions, with 700 vacant agents, and proposed closing the 56-employee Community Relations Service office.
  • The budget request projects savings of $545 million, includes $11 billion to combat violent crime, and states the move reflects a commitment to fiscal responsibility.
  • Critics warn the cuts jeopardize safety and diminish long-term law enforcement effectiveness, while the FBI plans to prioritize core missions amid restructuring.
