The C.I.A. is reportedly moving towards one of its largest mass firings, targeting officers tasked with recruiting and diversity, spurred by adherence to President Trump's executive order against diversifying the federal workforce. Those affected have been called in to resign or face termination, but a federal judge has intervened, halting the process temporarily. This occurrence is highly unusual since career officers are rarely dismissed for executing previous administration policies, with significant firings last seeing action in 1977 under President Carter.
The C.I.A. has moved to dismiss an unspecified number of officers working on recruiting and diversity issues, signaling one of the largest mass firings in its history.
A federal court has halted the C.I.A.'s action to dismiss these officers, with a hearing scheduled to consider a temporary restraining order against the agency.
