Employees of the U.S. Department of Agriculture work to secure the nation's border and food supply. Still, many were fired last week, told their further employment was not in the public interest.
USDA workers involved in food safety and border security were among federal employees terminated, with over 10,000 federal workers, mainly in their first or second year, fired. Some were told their employment was not in the public interest. Employees expressed frustration, feeling their work was vital and questioning the decision to terminate them.
