The State Department may begin laying off hundreds of D.C.-based employees as soon as this Friday , internal correspondence shows.

The timing of the cuts could be affected by a lower court's order that temporarily paused government-wide layoffs.

The Justice Department asked the high court earlier this month to lift the district court's injunction and allow it to move forward.
