20,000 federal employees have left their jobs.

According to statistics from the non-profit public service cooperation organization, over 200,000 federal employees have left their jobs in the nine months of the Trump administration, with a considerable proportion being forced to leave their jobs, except for those who resign actively and retire normally.

The White House Administration and Budget Office announced on October 10 that federal government cuts have begun and more than 4,000 people will be dismissed. According to AP, the cuts mainly affect federal agencies such as the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Health and Public Services, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Energy, Ministry of Homeland Security, the first two of which are the largest.

A federal employee council familiar with the situation told Associated Press on the 10th that in the department in charge of primary and secondary school affairs of the Ministry of Education, almost all employees below the director's level have been cut off. Trump has long seen the Ministry of Education "inappropriate", in March this year signed an executive order to promote the closure of the Ministry of Education, to return the administration of education to the states.

“It’s intentionally caused chaos.”

Trump said in an interview with the media in the Oval Office of the White House on the evening of the 10th that many federal employees will lose their jobs because of the government's "shutdown.""We will announce the number in the next few days, and there will be a lot of people." He said the layoffs would be concentrated in "democratically oriented areas" but did not explain further.

On October 10, in the U.S. capital Washington, U.S. President Trump returned to the White House.

The Trump administration recently used the "shutdown" issue to launch an onslaught on the Democratic Party, cutting Democratic-backed projects and dissolving Democratic-dominated federal agencies. He had previously stated that he would fire many "Democrats."

U.S. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer blamed Trump for the government’s latest job cuts. Schumer said: “Let’s be straight, no one has forced Trump and (Director of the White House Administration and Budget) Water to cut their jobs. They don’t need to do it, they want to do it themselves. They choose to ruthlessly hurt others – hurt those who protect the home country, check food security and respond to disasters.

The U.S. Federation of Government Employees said on 10th that it had “has filed a lawsuit”.The organization’s national chairman, Everett Kelly, said that the Trump administration has “illegally fired” thousands of employees who provide critical services to communities across the country on the pretext of a “stop-off,” which is shameful that federal employees are tired of being used by politicians as political and personal interests.

Did the White House go too far this time?

The White House has done “a little too much” this time, according to Associated Press. During the “stop-up” period of the U.S. federal government, the government rarely “falls down” to cut off employees who had been forced to stop paying leave. Usually, during the “stop-up” period, employees who provide “necessary services” stop paying work and other employees stop paying leave.

Susan Collins, chairman of the Senate Assignment Committee, said: “Federal employees suspended their pay holidays because of a completely unnecessary government shutdown, while White House Administration and Budget Office Director Walter tried to permanently dismiss them, and I strongly oppose it.”

Republican Senator Lisa Murcoski from Alaska said it was “an additional example of the government’s action to punish federal employees.”According to media reports, a number of previously fired federal employees have accused the Trump administration of taking “revenge” actions, dismissing them without a legitimate reason.

On October 5, in Washington, U.S., an announcement showed that the U.S. National Gallery was closed due to the federal government's "stopping".

The New York Times reported that the Trump administration's move by trying to fire federal employees during the government's "shutdown" may further escalate the current financial deadlock and lead to high costs.

Due to the differences between the two parties in welfare spending such as health insurance, the U.S. Senate failed to pass the new provisional allocation bill before the end of the previous fiscal year on September 30th.

According to media reports, during the government's "shutdown" period, about 750,000 federal employees were on leave without pay, and soldiers may have difficulty receiving their salaries on time on the 15th payday. The release of economic data has been suspended, public services have stalled, and the U.S. economy and society have suffered losses. (Reporters: Wang Hongbin, Xiong Maoling, Yang Ling)
