Thousands of federal workers were hit by layoffs on Friday as the government shutdown entered its 10th day, according to newly released court filings.

More than 4,100 positions will be axed, the government told a court Friday night, according to The Washington Post. The number comes after White House budget director Russell Vought posted on X earlier in the day, “The RIFs have begun,” using an acronym for reductions in force.

The Trump administration told a federal judge in California that notices were sent in the Commerce, Education, Energy, Health and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development, Homeland Security and Treasury departments. Furthermore, government attorneys said the Environmental Protection Agency told up to 30 workers they too could be laid off in the future, the Post reported.

Other agencies are “actively considering whether to conduct additional RIFs related to the ongoing lapse in appropriations,” according to the court filing.

President Donald Trump on Friday said his team intentionally moved to oust "people that the Democrats want."

At least two Republican senators have already spoken out against the layoffs.
