The Trump administration is reportedly initiating significant staffing reductions at the CIA and NSA, affecting thousands of positions. This decision, confirmed by officials, includes cutting 1,200 positions at the CIA, part of a broader strategic overhaul aimed at realigning the agencies with the administration's national security priorities. The CIA's Director is emphasizing a strategy to invigorate the agency and create opportunities for emerging leaders. Additionally, diversity programs are being dismantled, although some employees have been temporarily protected from termination amid legal challenges.
The administration plans to reduce the CIA workforce by 1,200 over several years, and cut thousands of positions at the NSA and other intelligence agencies.
These moves are part of a holistic strategy to infuse the Agency with renewed energy, provide opportunities for rising leaders to emerge, and better position CIA to deliver on its mission.
The CIA and NSA have already offered voluntary resignations to some employees, and plans include layoffs of recently hired personnel.
The new administration has also eliminated diversity, equity and inclusion programs at intelligence agencies, though a judge has temporarily blocked efforts to fire challenging employees.
