Hundreds of staff of the national administration of the ocean and the atmosphere (Noaa) were discharged in the last development of Donald Trump’s administration effort to reduce federal labor.
About 880 workers – including weather forecasts – broke the job on Thursday, the US partner reported BBC CBS.
The cuts come as Elon Musk, as the head of the so -called Ministry of Government Efficiency (Doge), continues the pressure on a significant reduction in federal labor.
Noah spokesman said the Agency would not comment on internal staff.
Prior to the reduction on Thursday, Noah had about 12,000 employees around the world, including 6,773 scientists and engineers, according to the Agency’s website.
“We continue to provide time information, forecasts and warnings in accordance with our public security mission,” NOA spokesman added.
But California Democratic Congressmen Jared Huffman said that people around the US “depend on Noah for free, accurate forecasts, serious weather warnings and emergency information.”
“Hundreds of scientists and experts from Noah have just received the news every federal worker scared,” Congressmen Huffman added.
“Male shameful mission brings vital stop programs.
Miyoko Sakashita, Director of the Center for the Biological Diversity of the Ocean, said Gutting Noah “will root the essential rescue of” program.
The latest events come for days after US Government workers have faced a wide conflict after conflicting tips on compliance with a mosque-supported order to list their past work in an email or faces breakdown.
The message sent to millions of federal employees last Saturday night came after Musk posted on his social media platform X that the Government’s staff would soon receive the E -State that demands that they understand what they had done last week. “
On Sunday, Musk said in some cases “We believe that non -existent people or identities of dead people are used to collect wages.”
In the Copy E -Ap The BBC received, employees were asked to answer their achievements from the last week at five points of bullets – without discovering classified data.
But key agencies, including defense departments (Dod), health and human services (HHS), Justice, The Pentagon and FBI – now run by employees who have been built by Trump to ignore the directive.
Agencies such as the Ministry of Transport, the Secret Service and the Agency for cyber security and infrastructure have also encouraged their staff to adhere to, reports are said.
On Wednesday, Musk reiterated the proposal that numerous federal employees who did not respond to the E -State that demanded a summary of their achievements from the previous week could be “dead” or “not real people,” but did not offer the fact that they support it.
Speaking u Trump’s first cabinet meetingMusk told reporters: “I think E -maybe the best interpreted as a review of performance, but it’s actually a review of the pulse check.
“Do you have a pulse? Do you have a pulse? And two neurons. So if you have pulse and two neurons, you can answer the E -Ap.”
Otherwise, on Thursday, the San Francisco Federal Judge determined that mass release of test employees were probably illegal.
District judge William Alsup ordered the Staff Management Office to inform a certain federal agency that he has no authority to order the release of test employees, including in the Ministry of Defense.
