Today all regional OFCCP staff & the enforcement division at the national office were placed on admin leave (effective yesterday!). The union was notified today. A formal RIF is expected.
The writing's been on the wall, but it is extra outrageous to be illegally sacked by a former SpaceX lawyer.

Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive? Because the amount of resistance to addressing his being trafficked gives the distinct impression that either he is dead or what they have done to him is so unspeakable that they cannot afford for him to be freed, seen, or spoken with.

DOGE Is Far Short of Its Goal, and Still Overstating Its Progress
Elon Musk now says his group will produce only 15 percent of the savings it promised. But even that estimate is inflated with errors and guesswork.

This is what happens when you let a bunch of men who think they know everything loose on government data with no guardrails. And tbh I'd love to know which idiot approving these stupid actions.
It would be funny to watch their incompetence if real people weren't at risk.

Hours ago, @politico.com revealed that DOGE is working with DHS on automating mass deportation efforts — likely explaining why many US citizens, green card holders, and even a Canadian (in Canada) got threatening emails last night terminating “your parole” and telling them to leave the US in 7 days.

Good morning ppl! It’s Federal Fuckery Friday. Currently we are looking at ~250,000 terminations across the Gov.. Every one of these firings affects you/ us. Short staffed or closed national parks. Poor/ no service with social security. Food on store shelves that was never inspected.

Yesterday, the Supreme Court put out a ruling. A 5-4 decision with all the women dissenting forcefully.
It said deportations to the awful El Salvador prison can continue, but must allow time for due process and have to file in nearby (conservative) courts.
