Most AmeriCorps volunteers have been placed on administrative leave, effective immediately, according to a staff member and an internal memo shared with The Associated Press .

The dismissal of young volunteers came as the Trump administration and the Department of Government Efficiency make cuts to government workforce and services.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom said his state would sue to stop the program's dismantling.
