A federal judge in California has ordered the reinstatement of thousands of probationary federal employees terminated under President Trump's administration. District Judge William Alsup found that the firings, ordered by the Office of Personnel Management, were unjustified, stressing that while agencies can reduce staff, it must be justified under the law. The ruling applies to various federal departments, marking a significant setback for Trump's efforts to reshape the federal workforce amidst ongoing demands for mass layoffs and budget cuts.
"It is a sad day when our government would fire some good employee and say it was based on performance when they know good and well that's a lie."
"Congress itself has said you can have an agency do a reduction in force, if it's done correctly under the law."
