Second judge orders Trump administration to rehire probationary workers let go in mass firings
The HinduA judge in Maryland has blocked for now the mass firings of probationary federal workers and ordered thousands of fired probationary workers to be reinstated, marking the second decision of its kind in a day. The order from U.S. District Judge James Bredar came late on Thursday in a lawsuit filed by 19 states and the District of Columbia against multiple federal agencies alleging the mass firings are illegal. At least 24,000 probationary employees have been terminated since U.S. President Donald Trump took office, the lawsuit alleges, though efforts by the judge to get an estimate from a Government Attorney at a hearing on Wednesday were unsuccessful. A federal judge in San Francisco ordered the Trump administration to rehire thousands, if not tens of thousands, of probationary workers let go in mass firings across multiple agencies, blasting their tactics on Thursday as he slowed the new president's dramatic downsizing of the federal government.
