All General Services Administration employees in Nevada have been terminated, with approximately 12 staff members in Las Vegas and Reno receiving notices on Monday. The employees were placed on paid administrative leave and will receive 90 days of paid leave. Senator Catherine Cortez Masto expressed concern over the impact of the firings, as GSA employees are responsible for maintaining federal buildings and courthouses, including security systems.
The specific responsibilities of the fired employees and the impact on federal buildings in Nevada remain unclear. The GSA announced plans to dispose of over 440 “non-core assets” across the country, citing funding deficiencies and the need for recapitalization. The decision to sell off assets is aimed at leveraging the private sector, improving services for agency customers, and benefiting local communities.
Senator Cortez Masto criticized the Trump administration for eliminating support for federal courtrooms and potentially hindering judges’ ability to perform their duties. The GSA field office in Nevada did not provide further information on the firings, directing inquiries to an email address that did not return requests for comment.
The firing of GSA employees in Nevada comes amid broader restructuring efforts within the agency, with a focus on disposing of underutilized assets. The impact of these changes on federal buildings and the workforce in Nevada remains to be seen. For more information, contact Jessica Hill at jehill@reviewjournal.com. Follow @jess_hillyeah on X.
