There is zero info available from HR as to how this comes about.
Do they offer me retirement? Severance?
I've got a Secret clearance and will have to be "read out" - does that happen after they fire me?
What happens to all of my (company-issued) computer equipment and (etc) I have in my home office (do they send security personnel to my home w/o a warrant)?
They have not worked any of this out yet - sort of like how they pulled out of Afghanistan - just say it and it will be done. That's how toddlers think.
And I thought the "adults" were now in charge.
They will probably send a SWAT no-knock visit in the a.m. to confiscate the equipment and deny any severance, pension, etc. I work in IT for my local county and am just waiting for this to happen here as well.

You would be ‘read out’ on your last day of employment. Technically, that would be before your termination.
“What happens to all of my (company-issued) computer equipment and (etc) I have in my home office (do they send security personnel to my home w/o a warrant)?”
You will be given the opportunity to turn in that equipment or pay for it. They do have the right to retrieve that equipment.
As a contractor, your terms of employment cannot be changed without a contract modification, or the end of the option year period of performance.
Absolutely understand the uneasiness about this, but the EO cannot override existing contract law.
Tell them everything is on the front porch
I’ve been wondering about that too. The laptop is the easy part. I have a company vehicle and a storage locker they pay for.
They fire me, they’ll get zero cooperation.
