More than 100,000 federal employees have already lost their jobs in the past two months through layoffs of probationary employees.

Details about how many people will be fired are expected to come out throughout the coming weeks .

The White House says it will release a final number of federal layoffs from the reduction plans.

Democratic attorneys general from 20 states and the District of Columbia filed the lawsuit in a Boston federal court following news that the department plans to lay off more than 1,300 employees. Trump has called for dismantling the agency. The lawsuit argues that the job cuts are in effect dismantling the department and will incapacitate components of the agency responsible for performing functions mandated by statute, "effectively nullifying those mandates."
