The firings are a move not to reduce the size of the workforce but to get rid of people the administration sees as not on board with its goals.
Summary
The Trump administration is set to fire hundreds of senior Department of Homeland Security (DHS) employees this week, targeting those seen as obstacles to its policies.
The firings follow broader workforce reductions that began Friday night, affecting FEMA, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).
High-ranking career officials, including Senior Executive Service and GS-15 employees, are expected to be removed.
