The Trump administration has placed on leave over 100 employees who work on environmental justice programs at the Environmental Protection Agency, and is pursuing staff reductions in similar programs at the Justice Department,

Environmental Protection Agency employees who work in the environmental justice and civil rights office expect a new round of paid leave notices that will impact even more federal workers, four sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

President Trump is likely to close the office as he moves to eliminate programs on environmental justice, which aims to protect poor and minority communities from disproportionate harm from pollution.
