Judge orders Trump admin to rehire thousands of fired workers

A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to rehire thousands of probationary workers who were let go in mass firings. U.S. District Judge William Alsup found the firings didn’t follow federal law and he ordered that all fired probationary employees be offered their jobs back immediately. The judge described the mass firings as a “sham.” The ruling affects employees from multiple federal agencies, including the departments of Veterans Affairs, Agriculture, Defense, Energy, the Interior, and the Treasury.
