Judge Orders Thousands of Fired Federal Employees to Be Reinstated Immediately
Briefly

In a significant ruling, Judge William Alsup mandated the immediate reinstatement of thousands of probationary federal employees who were unlawfully terminated under an initiative backed by Elon Musk to reduce the federal workforce. The ruling, which affects multiple federal agencies, ensures that the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) cannot influence further layoffs. The decision follows a lawsuit by unions representing impacted workers, highlighting the importance of job security for probationary employees and the legal boundaries of administrative power.
"Judge Alsup's ruling reinstates thousands of probationary federal workers, ensuring that workers unlawfully terminated by the Trump administration are brought back to their jobs."
"The ruling also prevents the Office of Personnel Management from advising federal agencies on employee terminations, emphasizing legal protections for workers."
