CIA Firings, Stop Trump’s Dangerous & Unconstitutional Purge

The Trump administration’s mass firing of CIA officers is reckless and endangers national security. These dismissals, carried out without congressional oversight, weaken the agency’s ability to gather intelligence at a time of global instability (Reuters, March 6, 2025). Slashing personnel like this has historically led to intelligence failures, as seen before 9/11, and could leave the U.S. vulnerable to foreign threats. Additionally, mishandling these firings risks exposing the identities of former intelligence officers, making them targets for adversaries like China (Reuters, March 6, 2025). Congress must act now to prevent further damage, restore oversight, and ensure intelligence staffing decisions prioritize national security over politics.
