Over 300,000 government workers could be fired, says MAGA activist Mila Joy: what the US shutdown means for immigrant employees
The US federal government entered a shutdown on October 1, 2025, furloughing 750,000 employees and causing significant financial strain, particularly for immigrant workers. While immediate mass firings are exaggerated, the potential for permanent layoffs if the shutdown persists raises concerns, prompting union challenges. This event underscores the job insecurity and financial risks inherent in public service careers.
