Sources said on Thursday that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration became the latest federal agency to be hit with job cuts, possibly affecting up to 1,830 probationary workers.

The Trump administration has its government-shrinking sights set on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, where around 800 employees have been tapped for termination, according to two sources close to the agency.

The cuts came just before a separate wave of departures was expected under the Trump administration’s so-called deferred resignation program.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) began the process of firing hundreds of probationary workers Thursday, the latest mass job cuts within federal agencies, three sources with knowledge of internal operations told The Hill.
