The Trump Reorg administration invites the dismissals of the Department of the Mass State
Friday, the US State Department dismissed more than 1,300 employees while the reorganization plan for President Donald Trump continued to take shape.
According to the Associated Press, 1,107 civil servants and 246 agents of the external service received notices of layoff on Friday. They were informed that their positions were “deleted” and that the warned persons will lose access to the State Department at 5 p.m.
A number of people affected are directed to the State Department with signs to protest against mass layoffs. Among them, read statements like “we all deserve better” and “thank you to American diplomats”.
“It’s just heartbreaking to stand outside these doors right now and see people going out in tears, because all they wanted to do was serve this country,” said New Jersey Kim Senator about the scene.
“We are talking about people in uniform service. But agents of the external service take an oath, as are military officers,” said Anne Bodine, a retired Department of State staff. “It is not the way to treat people who served their country and who believe in” America first “.”
The news of the reorganization returned for the first time in May as part of Trump’s aggressive efforts to reduce the federal government – largely under the measure of the Ministry of Government efficiency (DOGE). The State Department has announced that it was based on an 18% drop in the workforce. It is far from the only sector under the Trump hammer. USAID was reduced and withdrawn in the State Department last week, and the Ministry of Education should be entirely cut by the president.
Trump also issued warnings on Thursday evening to his Republican colleagues about him when it was a question of finishing efforts for PBS and NPR. The choice was the fact as he said, losing his support.
“It is very important that all the Republicans adhere to my bill of accounts and, in particular, finance the public broadcasting company (PBS and NPR), which is worse than CNN & MSDNC assembled,” wrote the president on his social platform Truth.
He continued: “Any republican who votes to allow this monstrosity to continue to broadcast will not have my support or my approval. Thank you for your attention to this question!”
