The Trump administration revealed in a court filing that more than 4,000 federal workers were fired Friday as a result of the ongoing partial government shutdown.
The mass layoffs will affect government workers in at least seven Cabinet-level agencies, according to the document filed in the District Court for the Northern District of California, where federal employee labor unions are suing to stop the Trump administration from downsizing amid the lapse in federal funding.
The bulk of the layoffs took place at the Treasury Department and the Department of Health and Human Services, where approximately 1,446 employees and up to 1,200, respectively, were axed.
The Department of Education fired 466 employees; the Department of Housing and Urban Development let go of 442 employees; the Department of Commerce terminated 315 employees; the Department of Energy cut 187 employees; and the Department of Homeland Security laid off 176 employees.
The Justice Department filing notes that other agencies have issued “a general ‘intent to RIF’ notice.”
The Environmental Protection Agency, for example, notified approximately 20-30 employees that they may be fired in the future.
The United States Patent and Trademark Office separately issued shutdown-related RIF notices to 126 employees on Oct. 1.

“As of early 2025, there are approximately 2.3 to 2.4 million non-military federal employees, which includes civilian employees and Postal Service workers.”
My reaction as well.
I don’t remember any firings as the result of a government shutdown before.
Trump is reimagining government.
But it has been the Democrat’s motto for years.
“Never let a crisis go to waste”
Blah, blah blah,........

I am glad they fired 4,000, but they need to fire 400,000 or more.

Sounds like you were in the same situation I was...I managed to fire 2 civilian employees I supervised - long, drawn-out process...but had some “nonessential” employees calling in and willing to work even when pay stopped and they didn’t know if they be paid or not.
There are some good federal workers.
Very few people will even notice.
Yeah, when I got laid off I didn’t jump to victim class about being “fired”.
Government shutdown
Democrats telling eash other feel the power we did that more to come comrades.
TRYING TO TELL HOMEOWNERS THAT THE RAIN THAT FALLS ON THEIR PROPERTY IS UNDER THE JURISDICTION OF THE EPA WAS A SPECIAL KIND OF CHUTZPAH
Shumer opening up government jobs for his illegal alien foreigners.
It’s a start.
A miniscule start, but a start, nevertheless. May the seed sprout a forest.
