The White House Office of Management and Budget stated that it will continue to lay off workers in response to the government shutdown.

Jin10 data reported on October 14, as the U.S. government shutdown enters its 14th day with no signs of resolution, the White House Office of Management and Budget stated it will continue to cut federal agency staff while ensuring that military personnel and federal law enforcement officers continue to receive pay. The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) posted on social media on Tuesday: “OMB is fully prepared and on high alert to respond to the Democrats' stubborn stance. Paying military salaries, paying law enforcement salaries, continuing layoffs, and waiting for the situation to develop.” Last Friday, the White House budget office implemented the first round of staff reductions, laying off over 4,000 federal employees, further escalating the standoff between government funding and the Democrats.
