Federal agencies have fired nearly 25,000 newer workers, officials said in court filings. It is the first time many of them have provided official termination numbers.

Eighteen agencies, including the Department of Agriculture, started terminating workers after President Donald Trump took office, and the Office of Personnel Management directed officials to fire probationary workers who were not critical to agency missions. Many did not disclose the number of workers that were terminated.
