The most damaging blow, however, came in February, when 6,000 USDA employees were let go, including a large portion of highly trained inspectors, biologists, and pest-detection dog handlers.

The brunt of the cuts hit the Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ) division, whose inspectors serve as the first line of defense against harmful biological threats. At ports like Los Angeles and Miami, staff numbers dropped by over 35%, and detection teams saw a staggering 60% reduction.
With fewer people on the ground, inspections have become chaotic and inconsistent. Perishable goods are rotting in ports, inspection delays are piling up, and food prices are poised to spike across the country. Worse, cargo containers are slipping through without proper screening, increasing the risk of introducing high-impact invasive species like the giant African land snail or the Asian longhorn beetle.
