In a significant shake-up, the Trump administration has initiated widespread layoffs across federal agencies, resulting in the termination of thousands of probationary employees. Reports indicate that over 2,300 workers from the Interior Department and more than 1,000 from the Department of Veterans Affairs have faced job cuts. The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has directed agencies to focus on recent hires, potentially impacting around 200,000 workers still in their probationary period. Critics, including AFGE President Everett Kelley, have condemned the mass firings as a chaotic process that jeopardizes vital federal functions. As the layoffs escalate, federal workers express concerns over the implications for services, particularly in tribal programs and other critical areas.
