Recent reports indicate that firings have commenced at federal agencies, with probationary employees facing terminations at the Department of Education and the Small Business Administration. This move is part of the Trump administration's efforts to significantly decrease the federal workforce.
According to sources, the Department of Education has already terminated several employees, citing performance issues as the reason for their dismissal. The impact of these firings has been felt across various departments within the agency, including the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitation Services and the Federal Student Aid office.
