‘It will happen quickly’: State Dept poised to act quickly after Supreme Court green-lights agency layoffs
State Dept. spokesperson Tammy Bruce said the agency is poised to move "quickly" after the Supreme Court shot down a lower-court ruling blocking the Trump administration from implementing wide-scale reductions in force across the federal government.
State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce said the agency is poised to move "quickly" after the Supreme Court shot down a lower court's ruling blocking the Trump administration from implementing wide-scale reductions in force across the federal government.
"I think it's fair to say that with everything else that happens [at the State Department], it will happen quickly," Bruce said when asked how soon the agency would begin issuing notices to department employees. "This is not going to be an extended wait for people who are listening and watching in this building, or fellow Americans at home and around the world, this will happen quickly."
Bruce pointed out that, up to this point, the only reason there has been a delay in implementing force reductions at the Department of State, is because of the courts that have stepped in to try to halt the reforms.
