Trump’s DOJ cuts thousands of law-enforcement jobs — despite promising to be tough on crime: report

This strategic downsizing contradicts earlier campaign promises emphasizing tough-on-crime policies. The layoffs represent a substantial shift in resource allocation within federal enforcement structures, raising questions about the administration's ability to maintain operational capacity while pursuing aggressive criminal justice enforcement objectives.
