The Trump administration is initiating large-scale layoffs across federal agencies, instructing them to submit reorganization plans by March 13. The memo emphasizes reducing the workforce, consolidating positions, and implementing technology to enhance efficiency. Exemptions apply to law enforcement, national security, and some personnel. The cuts aim to streamline government operations and save costs but may face legal challenges and public backlash. Historically, the effort follows previous attempts to reduce the federal workforce, including recent target firings of probationary employees.
