Firing federal employees was swift. Unwinding the terminations is proving complicated
Briefly

Federal agencies are actively working to reverse the firings of more than 24,000 probationary employees due to court mandates. Following rulings by U.S. District Judges Alsup and Bredar, multiple agencies are required to comply and reinstate employees they previously terminated without the legally mandated 60 days' notice. The Trump administration has appealed against these rulings, arguing they counter the executive authority. Agencies have reported substantial progress in reinstating employees, utilizing personal communication methods to reach them as part of the reinstatement process.
