In response to substantial layoffs executed by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), over 103,000 federal employees have lost their jobs since January. Protests erupted outside the Jacob K. Javits Federal Building as federal workers, alongside the National Treasury Employees Union, rallied against these terminations. The proposed layoffs, affecting nearly 18% of the IRS workforce, invite legal scrutiny and public dissent, evident from recent polls showing 60% disapproval of the firings, further complicated by court rulings reversing some terminations.
Federal employees and their supporters held a protest against DOGE's mass layoffs questioning the government's efficiency in cutting thousands of jobs amid widespread public disapproval.
Mass layoffs initiated by the Department of Government Efficiency have affected federal agencies significantly, drawing public protests and legal challenges from states against the firings.
According to recent polling data, citizens show strong disapproval of the mass firings orchestrated by Elon Musk-led DOGE, raising concerns over government efficiency and public welfare.
With significant layoffs proposed especially at the IRS, there is mounting pressure from state attorneys general and court rulings supporting the reinstatement of wrongly terminated staff.
