On Presidents' Day, thousands rallied at the U.S. Capitol against the Trump administrationâs recent terminations of federal employees, including many veterans and newly hired personnel. The mass layoffs are part of a broader strategy to cut costs, as the administration has framed the actions as addressing taxpayer waste. Protesters, including current and recently dismissed federal workers, claim these firings violate employment laws and compromise public service integrity. Many report strong performance evaluations prior to their terminations, sparking further concerns over fairness and legality in government employment practices.
It's a lot of people, referring to dozens of their probationary colleagues fired this past Tuesday, which they said included veterans and participants in agency rotational programs for recent college graduates.
It's f****** nonpartisan, said the CFPB employee, referring to the nonpolitical nature of many civil servants' work. All I ask is that [the White House] follow f****** federal employment laws.
