also a comment about never terminating and she kept poisoning the children. those were offenders who would not stop instantly they are determining. >> the they find homes for them without terminating the relationship we all know in reality continues to exist. no shot from the parent is going forward no matter how imperfect they are terminating right -- what happens among other things the government cousin and he races the name on the birth certificate. what we can do in the private adoption world has learned a lot of lessons in the forefront of public option. you can't replace a family as if they never existed and what you can do is expand relationships. maybe the child doesn't even see that child. contracts as possible while the parent is dealing with a substance abuse issue or mental health issue. generally maga more complex the fact. and not hate. we can transfer whatever rights we need to transfer to protect the child and the medical decision-making but no reason to cut them off and know the fundamental right for all and i truly believe the look back and

reviewed for termination as well, and that lists are being made for future punitive terminations or disciplinary decisions. and i couldn't underscore more how frightened the individuals i've spoken to have been. both those who are in the crosshairs of a potential termination, and also those who are their colleagues and worked with them at the department of justice or worked with them on important cases and are kind of gobsmacked at the idea that agents who basically did their job to try to investigate and bring evidence of violent crimes are now going to be fired for that, because it is politically unpleasant for donald trump to be reminded that january 6th was a violent attack and an effort to overturn a free and fair election. carol, one level at which this is going to have an impact is obviously on the lives of these individual agents and on their families. and for people who were involved in january, six investigations, either of the capitol rioters or the one that overturned the election case involving donald trump, them being named and drummed out of the agency also potentially has real se

but if the models don't accrue savings, they're terminated. and, um, and so that we can keep things running efficiently. >> so why were you terminated? what did they tell you? and i mean, what was the process? was this a did someone call you into an office? was this a phone call? >> oh, gosh. no, it was not that organized. um, from what i understand, the leadership at my office still doesn't even know who all was terminated over the weekend. um, i'd obviously been following the news, and i knew that they were firing people across agencies, and they were mostly firing people who were in this probationary period, which i was. and so i felt very nervous. um, but i had been assured by our leadership that, um, they had asked for exemptions and that we were, um, you know, aligned with the mission of the administration and that we should be okay. then saturday morning, i got a panicked text from my boss that said, call me. they're firing people. everything we learned yesterday was a lie. um, and later that day, i got an email that indeed said i had b

i want to read you a portion of her termination email. it says, quote, unfortunately, the agency finds that you are not fit for continued employment because your ability, knowledge and skills do not fit the agency's current needs. elizabeth, thanks so much for being with us. what was your reaction when you got that note and what was the process of being terminated like? >> hi. >> thank you so much, first of all, for having me on here and. >> for. >> everybody's attention. >> to this. um, i would say my, my reaction to receiving the notice was. complete and. utter shock. um, not only because i believe that i have the ability and knowledge and skills that fit the agency's mission and needs, but, um, because of the way that it happened, i mean, my paycheck was done as of that day, i have no information about exactly how long my health insurance will continue. i have not received forms that are necessary to file for unemployment. um, and there's just a lot of questions about what we are supposed to do next to, to take care of ourselves. >> yo

in any event we are requiring them to show up to work or be terminated. we think a very substantial number of people will not show up to work and therefore our government will get smaller and more efficient and that is what we have been looking to do for many, many decades, frankly. thank you. in addition there was a short-term pause on certain discretionary spending payments such as government grants only for us to look at the scams, dishonesty, waste, and abuse that has taken place in our government for too long, as was explicitly stated, this in no way affected social security, medicare, medicaid, or other entitlements americans depend on. i made it abundantly clear from the very first day that i ran from office, a long time ago now , 2015. i announced in 2015 and we won in 2016. we did very well in 2020. we did really well recently. i am restating now, to correct any confusion, that the media has purposely, for whatever reason, created social security, medicare, and medicaid have not been affected by any action we have taken in any way, shape, or form

um, tell us about the process of termination, what that was like for you. are you still getting paid? when does your pay end? >> yes. so i received a text message from my supervisor asking if i had a minute to talk. i was actually busy helping my daughter move unexpectedly in grand rapids from her apartment. and then he called and left a voicemail. i was still busy, i missed it. i did call him back. um, he said that i needed to come in and speak to him. um, before i believe it was close of business on monday, that we had to wrap it up over the weekend. and so, as directed by my union, i sent a message just clarifying that i was going to receive premium pay as a callback to be called in on a holiday. um, he did respond and confirm that i would be. and, um, so then i went in on monday to receive my termination letter from opm, which i believe you guys have a copy of. and was able to pack up my stuff. i had to turn over my accountable property to another employee. i was there for about three hours. i think. >> so we're showing it here on the screen. you say re

he has been terminated and has not been. you know, no one has explained to him why it is not based on his performance. >> i'm wondering for you, you're a civil rights attorney for the department of education. president trump said he wants it to go away. linda mcmahon is testifying on capitol hill today. she is set to take over. and then, as trump instructed her to, to to basically get rid of her own job as an employee there right now. what is it like? are you looking for other employment right now? >> you know, i, i came to this job from the private sector. i made considerably more money than i make now. i came to this job to work for the public. and i think that's the most important thing to to take away from here. the trauma that's being inflicted upon my colleagues because they've dedicated their lives to serve the public, uh, the true barriers of that, that pain are going to be the members of the public. we're hearing from members of the public right now, uh, from extreme from rural areas. from urban areas. uh, a parent

and all of this is terminated. we terminated this stuff. by the way, so many others.night long. but so many were so terrible, and some were actually disgusting. i know you are eating your dinner so i didn't want to. but we are draining the swamp. one of them was $100 million for condoms for hamas. $50 million and $50 million. it was $50 million, then they decided they need more condoms, so it is $100 million. condoms for hamas. that is the good stuff. here is even worse. social security. as you know, generally speaking, people don't live to be over 100 years old. 120, 130, hopefully. but you get near that number, it is like, let's hope we can live a length like this. but here's what we are finding, and these were all found by these computer geniuses. i asked elon, what trick -- they started off with 12 guys and then they had 30 guys and then they had 57 guys. now they have over 100 guys. and he attracts where young people with high i q's. some people attract very beautiful people. i think i like that better, actually. but he attracts young people who are brilliant, an

those in national security, cyber, criminal division, are being forced to resign, retire or face terminationat does it mean to have those positions forced out? >> yeah. whether you combine that essentially aer of leadership, executive assistant directors control multiple operational division, so at least a half a dozen of those reportedly are gone. then you get down to the level of at least two or three special agents in charge in the field, including miami, washington field office. you are starting to lose too much experience. if this plays out next week as reportedly it might, with regard to dismissing hundreds or thousands of special agents in the field who have touched january 6th cases or trump related cases, this makes america less safe. this is not reduction. this is not efficiency. it makes america less safe when you lose that much expertise this quickly. >> okay. just to follow up there. scott mcfarland, what frank was referring to is a list that was requested. cbs obtained the memo from acting deputy attorney general emile bove who was the personal attorney for donald trump. he ord

termination letters. um, but but again, this is all happening as a judge, just yesterday, uh, upheld the administration's ability to offer the buyout. of course, that deadline for taking the buyout has expired. but i just heard this one scenario from a union president saying that one of the individuals who was fired just yesterday, actually, um, put in his name to go for the buyout. he was accepting the buyout. and despite that, he was still fired. so we're starting to get a lot of stories in here. but i should say there is not clarity on just how many of these individuals have been fired so far this week at these agencies. >> very interesting renee. and we're also learning that billions in federal funding is still frozen despite court orders to keep the money flowing. tell us about that. >> right. so we have been paying close attention to what's happening at a variety of agencies, including the epa, department of energy, even fema. and we know that the courts have said that the administration needs to un

these are these are terminations. we've been denied the protections that most people get during reductions in force. and we were terminated due to a technicality that they found a loophole. and it's, you know, my belief that it's a matter of time until they find more loopholes to deny more people their benefits. and, you know, the services that we enjoy from the federal government. >> that is a concern broadly held by people, even still, who are employed in the federal workforce. i've been hearing it. andrew, again, thank you so much. we really do appreciate it. and still to come, officials in canada giving an update on the delta jet that crashed and flipped over as newly obtained footage shows, the very moment. >> plus, covert drone missions over mexico. what we're learning about the cia's efforts to spy on drug cartels. >> cooked books, corporate fat cats, swindling socialites, doped up cyclists, and yes, more crooked politicians. i have a feeling we won't be running out of those anytime soon. >> a new season of uni

. >> reporter: that is because the trump administration supposedly looking for fraud and waste terminated two scientists at uc davis hired to determine the affects on the wine industry. >> and that is how i started working with usda because stakeholders went to congress and asked for research to be done. we were gaining momentum. so how i'm feeling is this is impacting stakeholders greatly. they went and they asked the federal government for assistance and an issue they were seeing dramatically impacting their crops. two and a half years later, my position was removed. >> reporter: had and after earning distinction for her research, the form letter she got terminating her delivered one parting shot. >> it did say at the bottom that based on my demonstrated performance, my position in the agency was no longer of public interest. >> reporter: and erin says she will soon be looking for a new job, probably at a university or in a private industry. she will not be considering working for the government any time soon. >> reporter: and it makes absolutely to sense. they cut two jobs. we lost $3.

it is unclear how many of our nation's 93 federal prosecutors are being terminated. a political appointee for the doj's press office tells nbc news they are looking into it. >>> meanwhile, the white house says about 75,000 federal workers accepted a buyout offer to resign. the deadline closed last night after a federal judge allowed the program to move forward. alice barr joins us now. good morning, alice. is the white house still facing a lot of backlash over the effort to slash government spending? >> reporter: good morning, frances. no question they are. there are growing questions about how much power elon musk has to overhaul the government. and democrats scrutinize the billionaire at the first sub committee meeting on the departme of government efficiency. democrats are calling this unaccountable overreach, while republicans are praising musk's actions. >> the gravy train for a lot of these folks, it's been on biscuit wheels, and it's about to run off the dad gum tracks, and it's about time. >> it's the billionaires trying to hack that system right now. >> repo

but hundreds of workers within the faa did receive termination notices.include mechanics, information specialists, aviation safety assistants, among others. now, in a post on x late monday, transportation secretary sean duffy confirmed that fewer than 400 faa employees were fired and says, quote, zero air traffic controllers and critical safety personnel were let go. a spokesman for the faa says it continues to hire air traffic controllers, who face a nationwide shortage of more than 3000. now, staffing within air traffic control has been a key focus in the investigation. following the mid-air collision at washington, dc's reagan national airport. all 67 people on board both aircraft were killed. weeks after that crash, the trump administration says it's making cuts within the faa. all these people, although they may not be talking to an aircraft every day, still play a very critical role in the air safety system of the united states. cars crashed way more than planes do. definitely frightening. yeah. having having seen something like this in a while. yea

will include the reason for termination. as a result, your employment with the office of personnel management will end today. >> reporter: the layoffs across at least a dozen departments and agencies all part of an effort to cut government costs. spearheaded by elon musk, who told an international conference that whole agencies would have to go. >> we do need to delete entire agencies, as opposed to leave part of them behind. >> reporter: the administration first targeting the roughly 200,000 federal employees who have been on the job less than a year. at the department of energy, at least 2,000 workers let go. more than 1,000 people fired from veterans affairs and another 1,000 from the cdc. among them, half of the agency's so-called disease detectives. doctors and scientists who fan out across the country and the world to respond to outbreaks. but this process has been far from smooth. sources tell abc news, yesterday roughly 300 employees at the national nuclear security administration, the agency that maintains america's

that probably should not be terminated, there is some harm that is being done by an chaos particularly at the speed that president trump is moving obviously you're going to have to have corrective courses and this is why it's necessary that congress unlike the last congress conceded so much of the responsibility to the white house to do their job this is why we have a check and balance system in place by the courts in the congress to make sure you balance that with the president does because the president cannot shut down a federal agency that is funded by congress that's congress' role in a think congress. >> it has been shut down in those programs have been stop even the sign has been taken on. >> that is true the u.s. aid is so unique in its own way and we understand that but there is a lot of waste fraud and abuse in usaid and other government agencies. the conversation that we should have and we should criticize the president constructively, that's what a democracy is but if you look at the whistleblowers when they talk about waste and checks that are being written because they ha
