The Office of Personnel Management illegally required the roughly 25,000 firings throughout government, U.S. District Judge William Alsup said, denying the Trump administration's argument that each agency acted on its own. The ruling comes months after the Supreme Court knocked down Alsup's previous preliminary injunction on the firings, though the judge said the justice' decision was nebulous and did not prevent his final order.

The Office of Personnel Management's top technology official, Greg Hogan, has left the job he's held at the agency since day two of the Trump administration. His last day on the job was Tuesday, an OPM spokesperson confirmed with Nextgov/FCW. Peryn Ashmoore, currently OPM's assistant director of enterprise learning and a longtime federal employee, has taken over as the acting chief information officer for the agency.

"Retirement from federal service is finally entering the digital age," said OPM Acting Director Chuck Ezell in a statement.
