What is causing uncertainty among federal employees in the Department of Homeland Security?

The Department of Homeland Security is preparing to fire many senior leaders as part of efforts to align the agency with the current administration's goals. This move has created significant uncertainty among federal employees, a situation further exacerbated by the recent resignation of the Social Security Administration's top official following a dispute with Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The situation remains unresolved, with legal challenges emerging from multiple states against DOGE's proposed cuts, putting the future of personnel data access under intense scrutiny.
