A California federal judge, William H. Alsup, issued a preliminary injunction to reinstate thousands of federal probationary employees who were terminated, primarily from agencies under Trump and Musk's efficiency drive. The American Federation of Government Employees claims at least 30,000 were unlawfully fired, often under the pretense of performance issues, which were disputed by those employees. Alsup condemned such claims as lies and halted any guidance from the Office of Personnel Management regarding future terminations, emphasizing the need for fair treatment and administrative accountability for federal workers.
Alsup emphasized the unjust nature of firing competent employees under the guise of performance issues, highlighting the court's role in addressing such administrative overreach.
The AFGE expressed gratitude for this ruling, advocating for the rights of federal employees wrongfully terminated amid efforts to reduce government size.
