Mass firings have begun across multiple federal agencies, according to reports.
Newsweek has emailed the Department of Education, the Small Business Administration, the U.S. General Services Administration, and the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau for comment.
These would be the first layoffs carried out by the Trump administration as part of its plan to dramatically cut down the size of the federal workforce. Until now, federal employees across all government agencies had only been placed on paid administrative leave.
