The reduction in force notice had been expected. The Trump administration last week promised widespread layoffs would take place among federal employees who did not take the deferred resignation offer, which has been paused by a federal judge. More than 65,000 workers have accepted the offer, though that still falls short of the White House’s target of getting 5% to 10% to resign.

The order calls for prioritizing reductions among federal offices that Trump has targeted in his first weeks in office, including all departments’ diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives and agency efforts or operations that his administration suspends or closes, among others.

Also, departments will review what divisions – or entire agencies – “may be eliminated or combined because their functions aren’t required by law,” according to a White House fact sheet.

The order specifies that the reductions would not apply to public safety, immigration enforcement or law enforcement.

In the past three weeks, Trump has mandated that employees in any federal diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility offices be placed on paid administrative leave. He has moved to dismantle the US Agency for International Development, though a federal judge has temporarily blocked that plan. On Sunday, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau employees were told that the agency’s Washington, DC, headquarters would be closed this week and that they should work remotely.
