Federal judges in Maryland and California ruled that the Trump administration must reinstate thousands of laid-off probationary employees from agencies like the CFPB and HUD, citing lack of proper notice or individual assessments before termination. Judge Bredar emphasized the terminations were 'reductions in force' (RIFs), requiring notification. A temporary restraining order was issued to restore employees' statuses amid further hearings. White House press secretary asserted the President's authority should prevail, while Judge Alsup's ruling in California echoed the necessity for following proper dismissal protocols.
In a ruling, Judge James K. Bredar determined that the government's mass layoffs of probationary employees at various federal agencies violated legal requirements, necessitating reinstatement.
Judge William Alsup also mandated that employees at six federal agencies be temporarily reinstated, emphasizing that proper procedures must be followed in employee dismissals.
