New memo details Trump administration's plan to escalate federal layoffs, sets March deadline to reduce staff by thousands
The Trump administration has escalated its efforts to reduce the federal workforce, setting a March 13 deadline for agencies to submit plans for large-scale layoffs. The cuts could affect thousands of workers and lead to the elimination of positions, with some agencies, like the EPA, potentially reducing staff by up to 65%. Despite facing opposition, the administration's push to streamline government operations could significantly impact federal services and job security for civil service employees.
