A Bronx native veteran was abruptly fired Feb. 13 from the Lyons VA Medical Center in New Jersey as part of the Trump administration’s across-the-board cuts of recently hired federal employees. He started the job in February 2024 and was four days shy of completing the probationary period.
The 31-year-old Army veteran, referred to in this story as John Doe, requested his name be withheld because his supervisor has filed an appeal to the government for reinstatement.
