@our_publicservice When the current administration began slashing the federal workforce this year, they laid off people like Sawyer, a smuggling interdiction trade and compliance officer at the Department of Agriculture. Before being terminated in February 2025, Sawyer’s work was critical to ensuring imported agricultural products were properly documented and that prohibited items were intercepted and stopped before entering the U.S. Sawyer's work contributed to keeping our food supply safe from diseases and viruses, like the bird flu, and protected us from pests and invasive species. #federalworkers #fedsupport #publicservice #agriculture ♬ original sound – The Partnership
