The Office of Special Counsel (OSC) found that President Trump’s mass firings of probationary employees were unlawful for several individuals across different agencies. While the ruling currently pertains to six specific employees, it may influence broader governmental practices on terminations. The OSC has referred the issue to the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) for enforcement and requested a 45-day stay to further investigate. If agencies do not comply with OSC's recommendation for corrective action, it may lead to litigation and potential reinstatement of the affected employees, establishing a potential precedent for future cases.
Special Counsel Hampton Dellinger stated that the government violated the federal statute governing termination, indicating that Trump's mass firings were unlawful for certain probationary employees.

OSC has referred the case to the Merit Systems Protection Board, seeking a 45-day stay to investigate further and address the unlawful firings' consequences.
