White House Issues Layoff Notices to Thousands During Government Shutdown
More than 4,000 federal employees are affected as the shutdown extends.
The Trump administration has issued layoff notices to over 4,000 federal workers amid an ongoing government shutdown that has halted key public services.
Officials say the move was necessary due to funding constraints, while unions and lawmakers have criticized the decision as harmful to national operations and employee livelihoods during an already volatile political standoff.
