Summary

The Trump administration is set to fire hundreds of senior Department of Homeland Security (DHS) employees this week, targeting those seen as obstacles to its policies.

The firings follow broader workforce reductions that began Friday night, affecting FEMA, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).

High-ranking career officials, including Senior Executive Service and GS-15 employees, are expected to be removed.

If they could start with the illegal TSA that started after 9/11 then, you know what, I’m actually ok with this one.
- Monkey’s Paw curls
  It now takes ten hours to get through airport security unless you give Musk a DNA sample.
- How the fuck hasn’t the TSA stopped sexually assaulting people yet? Wild that you need to either have a naked picture taken of you by the government or get felt up by the government.
  They can’t keep shivs out of prison, and they look in your arse in prison. Give it up. We’ve got the locks on the cockpit doors.
  
  It's kinda like rehab being one of the easiest places to score drugs.
  
  This doesn't make any sense. How is a lock on a cockpit going to oppress people? Think before you type.
- Just gonna check ya asshole
You’re not yourself when you’re hungry.
- I wanted DHS to go away but not like this
This week, the three sources told NBC News, career employees at high managerial levels, namely Senior Executive Service and General Schedule 15 employees, may be removed from agencies across DHS — not to reduce the size of the workforce but to remove employees whom the administration sees as potentially standing in the way of goals the Trump administration has for the agency.
In case you’re wondering, they aren’t firing the DHS agents looking at dick pics and reading private messages. It’s the ones pushing back against that.
Between Tulsi and this, Russia can't stop salivating
Trump is actually delivering what his voters expected, run the country like CEO, firing VPs and managers who he doesn’t like and hire those who will do what to be told.
This speaks to fundamental a lack of imagination of American society, rich CEO is the only model for American dream.
Success of capitalism taking over every corner of the society is probably the main reason. also the short history is another reason, as once you have a few bloody cycles of dynasties and folk lore about bad kings and deeper variety of inspirational characters, the society will be more resilient.
Just a completely normal thing to do folks, nothing to see here.
The security of our nation is a conflict of interest for the leadership is it not?
Good. DHS and especially TSA has been nothing but pork barrel politics since inception.
- targeting those seen as obstacles to its policies
  He is firing all the people telling him "No, you can't hold people in camps"
  I'm not a big fan of either agency, but he is getting rid of anyone preventing him from doing more evil shit.
