The Trump Administration is following through on its threats.
More than 4,000 employees at agencies across the federal government were issued layoff notices, according to a filing late Friday by the administration in a San Francisco federal court, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Layoffs hit the Departments of Health and Human Services, Energy, Homeland Security, Education, Treasury, Commerce, and Housing and Urban Development.
President Donald Trump, over the past week, has repeatedly threatened that he would begin layoffs during the federal shutdown. He has said the layoffs would be focused on "Democratic programs."
The American Federation of Government Employees and the AFL-CIO have filed a federal lawsuit to try to block the layoffs.
