As I understand it, the 8 month severance was offered as a buyout to just about (if not) everyone in government via Deferred Resignation Program, which is now closed:Where did the information come from that decided who to fire?

I also heard they terminated probationary employees who hadn't officially been hired yet. Not sure how other employees are being terminated, I heard a huge number of people at USAID were fired but there's so much info out there that is sometimes true, sometimes false, its hard to know whats what.
Top FEMA Official Is Fired Over Payments for N.Y.C. Migrant Shelters
The Trump administration fired the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s chief financial officer and three others after Elon Musk misleadingly claimed the agency had used disaster relief funds for migrant services.

The Trump administration said on Tuesday that it had fired four employees from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, including the agency’s chief financial officer, over their roles in disbursing federal funds to house migrants in New York City hotels.
The firings capped a startling chain of events that began on Monday with an early-morning social media post by Elon Musk who claimed, misleadingly, that FEMA had recently sent $59 million meant for disaster relief to New York City to pay for “high end hotels” for migrants, and who called the expenditure unlawful.
New York City officials raced to clarify that the federal money had been properly allocated by FEMA under President Joseph R. Biden Jr. last year, adding that it was not a disaster relief grant and had not been spent on luxury hotels.
I do wish there was more information in a centralized location where everything was posted with as much evidence & transparency as possible. I'm seeing many tweets and statements but nothing centralized in detail as to exactly how things are happening.
The is the only site I could find for the Department of Government Efficiency:
