Mass exodus: Hundreds of FBI agents and staff were fired or left their positions as part of a government worker buyout program – GS

However, other FBI personnel have been fired without clear reason, raising concerns about due process. Sources confirm that hundreds of FBI employees and agents were separated from the bureau on September 30, 2025, with some leaving voluntarily through a government-wide deferred resignation buyout program
Key details about the FBI employee exits:
Voluntary resignations: A “deferred resignation” program, spearheaded by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), offered federal employees a buyout of roughly eight months’ salary and benefits. Employees who accepted the offer could remain on the federal payroll until their last day of service on September 30, 2025.
CBS News reported that 800 FBI employees, including several hundred agents, were leaving the bureau due to this program.
Accepting the buyout required employees to waive their right to legal action.

Forced firings: Separately, some senior FBI agents and officials were reportedly ordered to resign, retire, or were fired without explanation, causing concern among veterans of the bureau. This includes some who oversaw key areas like cyber, national security, and criminal investigations.
An association representing FBI agents expressed deep concern about these firings, stating they were done without due process for agents they said were just “doing their jobs”.

Political context: These personnel changes occurred amid broader efforts by the Trump administration to reduce the size of the federal government. This included the Department of Government Efficiency, headed by Elon Musk, offering buyouts to the entire federal workforce.
Rehiring efforts: Some federal agencies have begun rehiring workers who left through the buyout program, in some cases telling them that if they decline, they will forfeit severance.
The combination of voluntary buyouts and involuntary terminations has raised concerns about a loss of institutional knowledge at the FBI and other federal agencies.

The post @WaynoFredsKid @witte_sergei It’s not a real argument. You going to sell a gun that going to be used in murder or gun robbery? Trump wants to supply Ukraine, but not to be blamed for its defeat. Trump also does not want US to be targeted, because who ever transfers these weapons to Ukraine could be. first appeared on The World Web Times – worldwebtimes.com.
