Mass Dismissals of Federal Workers Begin Under Trump Administration

  • The U.S. Government has begun firing thousands of employees from multiple agencies, including the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as part of a purge of federal workers under the Trump administration.
  • More than 1,000 employees have been let go from the Department of Veterans Affairs, while the U.S. Forest Service is set to terminate over 3,000 staff members, signaling a reduction in probationary positions across various agencies.
  • Critics argue that these mass firings suggest a disregard for federal law and aim to eliminate oversight and accountability within the federal government, warning this could lead to an authoritarian environment reminiscent of Nixon's presidency.
  • Hampton Dellinger, head of the Office of Special Counsel, stated his dismissal was illegal and has since sued the Trump administration regarding his termination.
