IRS Unveils Massive Layoffs, Cuts Civil Rights Office Amid Shrinking Federal Workforce

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will slash its workforce by at least 25% beginning Friday, resulting in layoffs, as part of a broader effort to reduce the size of the federal government. The move also includes the elimination of the agency's civil rights office. This decision comes amid ongoing efforts by the Trump administration to downsize various government agencies. The layoffs are expected to impact thousands of IRS employees and will take effect starting Friday.
