What happened is that the Trump administration is going after the people who are on probation as they don’t have the same protection against unsubstantiated firing as the long time civil servants. Low hanging fruit. Trump ignores the laws.

Probationary is what they’re mainly doing *now,* in addition to having changed the probation period from 2yrs to 1 yr.
Are those the only firings now? I don’t think they were for the first few agencies.
They weren’t. The period was different in different positions, some as long as 3 years. Might be 5 years too, have to check on that. But yep just like with immigrants they’ll just go after whoever they can and see if someone stops them.
