The Trump administration has initiated the process of terminating approximately 130 personnel at the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) as part of a broader effort to reduce the federal workforce. These firings include employees dedicated to countering Chinese hacking threats to US infrastructure.
The dismissals of probationary employees within CISA are being executed under the administration’s Department of Government Efficiency initiative. The number of terminations at CISA may exceed 130 as Trump political appointees continue to restructure the agency.
