Trump allies compile list of federal workers for targeting
A right-wing group aligned with Donald Trump is compiling a list of federal employees considered “disloyal” to the former president.
The American Accountability Foundation aims to scrutinize high-ranking government officials, starting with the Department of Homeland Security.
News website Axios reports that Trump’s “top allies are preparing to radically reshape the federal government if he is reelected in November.
There are plans to purge thousands of civil servants and fill career posts with Trump loyalists.
Media reports suggest that the group is relying on tips from a network of conservative contacts, including workers.
Critics say the initiative is reminiscent of 1950s McCarthyism, and aims to purge civil servants perceived as opposed to Trump’s agenda.
The move has sparked condemnation from the American Federation of Government Employees, which labels it an intimidation tactic.
Trump, advocating for a broader overhaul of federal employment rules, intends to revive policies making it easier to dismiss government employees.
The move has raised concerns about politicizing the civil service and undermining democratic norms.
