The U.S. Government Efficiency Department plans to lay off staff from the Department of Homeland Security

Market reports say that the Government Efficiency Department led by Musk is expected to target the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in the next few days, seeking massive layoffs across several of its subordinate agencies, which may include the U.S. Secret Service. Sources say that the Department of Homeland Security is preparing for possible large-scale layoffs. No final decision has been made yet, and the final scale and scope of layoffs are still uncertain. A senior official from the Department of Homeland Security said that they are "determined to eliminate decades-long government waste at the expense of American taxpayers' interests. Across all areas within our department, we will cut non-essential positions and bureaucratic obstacles hindering our mission to defend homeland security."
