At least 6,000 veterans have been fired across the federal government since Feb. 25 , Democrats on the House Appropriations Committee said.

Gabriel D'Alatri , a first -generation Italian American , said he felt it was his duty to serve the country that had provided refuge and safety to his family.

He said he was fired just five days away from his probation period ending and with a 6-month-old baby to take care of, he said.

Rep. Derek Tran , D- Calif. introduced a bill to reinstate veterans fired from the federal government under President Trump .

The bill would also require federal agencies to submit reports to Congress on the veteran dismissals and provide clear justifications for termination.

"It feels like a slap in the face to not even have the opportunity to defend my job," a disabled veteran says.
