US EditionWhite House reviews mass federal layoff plans, aims for swift action
UNITED STATES, JUL 11 – The White House is ensuring federal layoff plans meet legal and contractual requirements after the Supreme Court ruling enabled large workforce reductions expected to start July 11.
- On July 10, 2025, officials announced that the U.S. State Department would move ahead with its proposal to terminate the employment of nearly 2,000 staff members.
- This action follows the Supreme Court's July 8 ruling that authorized the Trump administration to pursue thousands of job cuts across multiple federal agencies.
- The layoff plans were drafted earlier this year and submitted in March by various departments, including Agriculture, Commerce, and Veterans Affairs.
- An official said, "They're going to be legally sound," but added, "they're still gonna get lawsuits, because that's just the way it goes."
- The administration views the workforce reduction as a priority to streamline government, while unions warn the cuts will disrupt services and strain agencies already stretched thin.
