US EditionHHS Carries Out Mass Firings Across Health Agencies After Supreme Court Decision
UNITED STATES, JUL 14 – The Supreme Court upheld layoffs affecting thousands of federal health agency employees amid a hiring freeze through October 15, 2025, enforcing President Trump's executive reorganization orders.
- On July 14, 2025, at the end of the workday, 10,000 staff members were officially dismissed as part of a planned workforce reduction within the federal health agency.
- This event followed the March 27 reorganization announcement and a July 8 Supreme Court decision allowing HHS to proceed despite ongoing legal challenges.
- The reduction affected roughly 25% of HHS staff including employees at the FDA, CDC, and NIH, though some employees remain temporarily protected by a Rhode Island injunction.
- An official email informed employees that their employment with HHS would end at the conclusion of the workday on July 14, 2025, while a lawsuit contends that the department relied on data riddled with significant errors in executing the recent layoffs.
- The terminations and hiring freeze through October 15, 2025, signal a significant federal workforce reshaping with potential impacts on regulatory timelines and government operations.
