Trump 2nd term live updates: Dan Bongino named as deputy FBI director

The Pentagon has temporarily delayed mass layoffs of thousands of probationary employees as they continue to review the potential impacts on readiness, two U.S. officials tell ABC News.

One of the officials said the Defense Department did not anticipate making any determination this week while the assessment of impacts continues, particularly since the DOD is a worldwide enterprises with civilian personnel around the world. It’s unclear how long the delay could take.

The officials said that department officials are looking at the third and fourth order effects and impact on the force if there are thousands of layoffs.

The Defense Department has about 55,000 probationary employees worldwide. That’s the universe of civilians who have less one to three years of service in their current jobs. Exemptions have been requested for some of these employees so the actual number of layoffs will be lower, but still significant given that the DOD is the nation’s largest employer.

The Trump administration's layoffs across agencies have hit the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which has laid off over a hundred probationary employees, including some of those who work on the team responsible for producing air traffic navigation maps, multiple sources tell ABC News.

"132 probationary employees represented by PASS" were terminated," a union said. "We believe all of these employees are critical not only to the frontline safety workers, but to the entire aviation ecosystem," Professional Aviation Safety Specialists National President Dave Spero told ABC News in a statement.

Some of the employees affected were part of the FAA's Air Traffic Organization en route charting group, which is responsible for maintaining and updating enroute navigation charts used in the National Airspace System and by air traffic controllers around the country, sources tell ABC News.

"If we're no longer there to create the maps that air traffic air traffic controls are using, mistakes will eventually happen," one of the FAA employees who was laid off told ABC News.

The FAA and the Department of Transportation have insisted no critical employees were let go.

At the White House governors event, there was a tense exchange between President Trump and Maine's Democratic Gov. Janet Mills. The back-and-forth came as Trump discussed his executive order banning transgender athletes from women's sports.

"Are you not going to comply with that?" Trump asked Mills directly. She responded that she was "complying with state and federal laws."

"Well I'm -- we are the federal law," Trump said. "You better do it, you better do it because you're not going to get any federal funding at all if you don't," he said.

"See you in court," Mills said.

"Good. I'll see you in court. I look forward to that. That should be an easy one. And enjoy your life after governor, because I don't think you'll be in elected politics," Trump said.

Trump spoke for more than an hour as he hosted governors at the White House, and in the process repeated several debunked claims about the alleged findings of the Department of Government Efficiency.

He again repeated that millions of people over the age of 100 are "on our Social Security rolls."

Policy experts and economists told ABC News that Elon Musk and Trump are getting it wrong on Social Security, likely misreading the database as they falsely imply millions of dead Americans are receiving benefits.

Trump also repeated the false claim that the federal government was sending upward of $100 million on condoms to Hamas. In fact, the condoms were sent to a province in Mozambique named Gaza as part of an HIV prevention measure. and not at that cost.

Musk backtracked on that claim in the Oval Office last week, where he admitted to reporters that he would make mistakes and should be corrected. "Nobody's going to bat a thousand," Musk had said.
