We finally learned how many federal probationary workers the White House fired and where they worked

[Dulcinea]

(Insider)-snip- New documents filed by the Justice Department shed light on just how far the White House and its DOGE office have gone in trying to cut probationary staff from the federal government.

In declarations from 18 departments or agencies, officials said roughly 25,000 federal workers had been terminated across the government. Their disclosures are the largest insight yet into mass reductions that have become the signature focus of President Donald Trump's first 100 days in office.

Agency officials were required to file the declarations by Monday night in a Maryland case brought by 20 Democratic state attorneys general who allege that the mass firings were illegal. US District Judge James K. Bredar previously granted the attorneys general request to temporarily restrain the Trump administration from fully carrying out the terminations.

Many of the roughly 25,000 employees were put on administrative leave following their reinstatement, according to the filings. Some agencies have struggled to notify fired workers that they can come back. An IRS official said they'd resorted to sending out certified mail.
