I pray they don’t. But I have no trust in this administration. Rules, laws, regulations, common sense and empathy…. They’ve disregarded everything. Vets and fed workers alike. Voting against their own interests

Yep! It’s crazy how they were accused of human trafficking across state lines. Someone mentioned it’s because their obsession with Chicago. Chicago has a large population of Latinos who are unfortunately going to be targeted regardless of legal status

Trump wants to move 30% of the agency headquarters outside of the DC metro area. And they are not going to pay those federal workers to relocate. They have 90 days to relocate if it goes through
