On Thursday, State Department staff received an email from Deputy Secretary for Management and Resources Michael J. Riggs telling them to prepare for mass firings.

The State Department began notifying staff on Thursday that it's beginning wide-spread firings of federal bureaucrats.

The layoffs are expected to come as early as tomorrow, morning sources tell RCP, and are part of a broad reorganization to reflect President Trump’s “America First” priorities in U.S. foreign policy staffing.

Some 2,000 State Department employees are expected to be relieved from ther duties, including foreign service officers assigned to Washington, D.C.

“Secretary Rubio, at the direction of President Trump, has undertaken a historic reorganization of the State Department, which was thoughtfully and deliberately executed by department leadership,” a senior State Department official told RCP.

“The ‘America First’ State Department will better serve the American people.”

Michael Rigas, the deputy secretary for Managemnt & Resources, in the email thanked the employees receiving layoff notices for their “dedication and service” to the United States and stressed that “every effort has been made to support our colleagues who are departing.”

“In the subsequent weeks, more granular communications and guidance will be distributed,” Rigas noted.

“On behalf of the Department leadership, we extend our gratitude for your hard work and commitment to executing this reogranization and for your ongoing dedicaiton to advancing U.S. national interests across th world,” he concluded.

The huge overhaul of the State Department comes after the Supreme Court cleared the way earlier this week for President Trump’s administration to clean house across federal agencies.

CNN reported:

Sources said the cuts, known as reductions in force (RIFs), could happen as soon as Friday.

They come after the Supreme Court on Tuesday cleared the way for the Trump administration’s effort to carry out mass firings and reorganizations across the federal government.

The State Department told Congress in May that it planned to fire up to 1,873 people in its domestic workforce of 18,730. Up to 1,575 additional people had indicated they would voluntarily depart.

The firings will include members of the civil and foreign service who worked in offices that are now being eliminated or rehauled. The planned reorganization impacts more than 300 offices and bureaus, the agency told Congress in May.

The pending RIFs, which have loomed over the agency for weeks, have left the workforce in limbo and demoralized as they wait for final notice about the fates of the careers to which many have devoted years or even decades of their lives.

Opponents of the cuts say they will take a toll at a time when the role of diplomats and foreign affairs experts is as important than ever, particularly as the Trump administration tries to broker ends to wars in Ukraine and the Middle East.

Rubio said Thursday that the RIF plan was being implemented in “probably in the most deliberate way of anyone that’s done one.”

“We went very specifically through and reorganized the State Department,” he told reporters in Kuala Lumpur. “When you reorganize the State Department, there were certain bureaus we wanted to empower, the regional bureaus, and there were certain bureaus, these functional bureaus, that were closed.”

There are fewer foreign service officers than civil servants based in the Washington, DC, offices. They are often highly trained, speak multiple languages, and serve around the world on behalf of the US. If they were working in a now-eliminated office on May 29, the day Rubio approved the reorganization plan, they may be cut.

A senior State Department official said the RIF plan “looked at the functions that were being performed, not at individuals.”

“If a particular function was being performed that was no longer aligned with what the department was going to be doing going forward, that function was being eliminated,” the official said. “It was personnel agnostic.”

Let’s go!

Cut the bureaucracy!

Is this what you voted for?
