The CIA is planning to conduct its largest mass firing since 1977, according to The New York Times.
According to The Times, the CIA is firing officers working on “recruiting and diversity.”
And more firings are to come.
This comes one day after The New York Times reported that President Trump will fire 6,000 IRS workers.
The Times reported that the majority of the terminations are employees hired by the Biden Regime.
The New York Times reported:
The C.I.A. has moved to dismiss an unspecified number of officers who were working on recruiting and diversity issues, according to former officials, in what would be one of the largest mass firings in the agency’s history.
The possible purge of the officers comes as the agency moves to comply with the spirit of President Trump’s executive order banning efforts to diversify the federal work force.
The C.I.A. on Friday began calling in officers who had been put on administrative leave and telling them to resign or be fired, but a federal court soon halted that action. A judge in the Eastern District of Virginia is scheduled to hold a hearing on Monday to consider a temporary restraining order against the agency.
In a court filing on Thursday, the government lawyers said that John Ratcliffe, the C.I.A. director, could seek to fire more people, following the White House executive order ending diversity hiring. A lawyer for the officers, Kevin Carroll, said the filing suggested the firings were only beginning.
Update: Government lawyers defend move to fire CIA officers working on recruiting and diversity. Filing appears to suggest more terminations to come. With @SeamusHughes watching the docket. https://t.co/T04TgnBOVG
