A CNN report highlighted the extent of the firings: “Scores of firings have begun at federal agencies, with terminations of probationary employees underway at the Department of Education and the Small Business Administration, federal employees and union sources told CNN Wednesday.”
This wave of dismissals marks the first significant action under Trump’s administration in partnership with Elon Musk’s newly established Department of Government Efficiency, aimed at reducing the size of the federal workforce. Previously, federal employees faced only administrative leave, but the latest actions indicate a more aggressive approach.
Employees received form letters detailing their terminations. One such letter, obtained by CNN, read: “The Agency finds, based on your performance, that you have not demonstrated that your further employment at the Agency would be in the public interest.”
The impact of these firings is being felt across various departments within the DOE, including the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitation Services, which supports programs for children with disabilities, and the Federal Student Aid office, as confirmed by union sources.

Adding to the upheaval, Trump also dismissed multiple Biden-appointed U.S. Attorneys earlier this week. The exact number of attorneys affected remains unknown, but the move underscores Trump’s commitment to reshaping the federal landscape.
As Trump continues to implement his vision, the nation watches closely, with supporters praising his efforts to eliminate what they see as bureaucratic inefficiency and ideological overreach, while critics express concern over the potential disruption to essential government services.
