The mass termination threat to over 1,100 Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) employees is alarming and detrimental to the agency's crucial work safeguarding public health and the environment. Abruptly firing dedicated public servants with specialized expertise will severely undermine the EPA's ability to fulfill its mandates. This rash action compromises environmental regulations, policy implementation, and oversight that protect our air, water, and land from pollution and contamination. Moreover, the chilling effect of these termination warnings has demoralized the workforce and fostered an environment of fear and uncertainty. EPA staff should be able to carry out their duties without baseless intimidation tactics. Purging skilled personnel will decimate institutional knowledge and leave critical roles vacant, ultimately jeopardizing the EPA's core mission. I urge you to rescind the termination threats immediately and restore stability at the EPA. Maintaining an experienced, fully-staffed agency is essential to upholding environmental laws and advancing sustainable policies for the nation's well-being. Responsible governance demands preserving the EPA's scientific integrity and capacity to address pressing ecological challenges. Protect this vital institution by retaining its invaluable human resources.
