Office of Community Planning and Development: The Trump administration is aiming to cut the office, an arm of the department of Housing and Urban Development, from 936 staffers to 150, or 84%, the New York Times reported, citing a document it obtained detailing the plans.

A tearful executive at the U.S. Internal Revenue Service told staffers on Thursday that about 6,000 employees would be fired, a person familiar with the matter said, in a move that would eliminate roughly 6% of the agency's workforce in the midst of the busy tax-filing season.

While other federal agencies in Shasta County operate under a cloak of silence, an official at Whiskeytown National Recreation Area confirmed the Trump administration has "let go" some employees who work there.

A federal judge Thursday refused a group of government employee unions’ request to block the Trump administration from moving ahead with plans to dramatically reduce the federal workforce. U.S.

The tax agency is laying off 7,000 employees, but there are protections for taxpayers whose refund payments are delayed.

The cuts targeting mostly new and recently promoted workers are part of the administration's push to shrink the federal work force.
