The Department of the Treasury is working on plans to fire a substantial number of workers, according to an official who said the terminations are in response to President Donald Trump’s Feb. 11 executive order to optimize the federal workforce.

“These plans will be tailored for each bureau, and in many cases will require separations of substantial numbers of employees through reductions in force (RIFs),” Trevor Norris, a human resources official for the department, stated in a March 25 declaration filed with a federal court in Maryland.
