Unless you have an employment contract, you're an employee at will, which means the agency does not even need to have a reason to fire you. There are some illegal reasons for firing, such as racial discrimination or retaliation for filing a workers compensation claim (two examples, others are similar), but I don't think any of those are involved, from your question. I don't think there's anything you can do about this.
