  Jayapal discussed the federal layoffs, criticized the Trump administration's plans and her efforts to protect the trans community in an interview with KING 5.

Representative Pramila Jayapal has warned that the Trump administration's decision to lay off 1,600 employees from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) could lead to "direct consequences" for public health and safety. These layoffs, which include staff from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), are part of a broader effort to reduce the federal workforce. Jayapal criticized the move, stating that it would hinder the government's ability to respond effectively to public health emergencies, like the ongoing opioid crisis and potential disease outbreaks. She emphasized the importance of these agencies in protecting public health, suggesting that the layoffs could compromise the nation's health security at a critical time.
