  • The Trump administration on Friday moved to fire more than 400 employees at the Department of Homeland Security, the latest effort in a government-wide campaign to dramatically reduce the federal workforce.

The Trump administration has initiated a significant reduction in the workforce at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), firing over 400 employees as part of ongoing mass dismissals. This action is part of a broader effort to reshape the department, which has seen the dismissal of numerous officials since Trump took office. The firings have targeted employees across various DHS agencies, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and the Secret Service. Critics argue that these dismissals are politically motivated, aimed at removing those perceived as not fully aligned with the administration's policies, particularly on immigration. The administration, however, claims these moves are necessary to streamline operations and ensure that the department's personnel are in line with its mission and objectives. This has led to concerns about the politicization of DHS and its impact on national security and operational effectiveness.
