The Trump administration has been dedicated to thinning out the federal government by firing workers en masse. Despite having laid off workers, Judge William Alsup demanded the reinstatement of the same employees.

A federal judge called the administration’s justification for the firings of workers with probationary status a “sham.” Another ruling barred the administration from carrying out future mass reductions.

A federal judge has ordered half a dozen federal agencies to “immediately” reinstate probationary employees fired last month as part of the Trump administration’s effort to rapidly shrink the federal workforce.

The order from U.S. District Judge James Bredar came in a lawsuit filed by 19 states and the District of Columbia against multiple federal agencies alleging the mass firings are illegal.

The judge's decision means that, for the time being, those employees who lost their jobs due to the presidential administration’s cuts were to be reinstated.

Two federal judges handed down orders requiring President Donald Trump’s administration to rehire thousands, if not tens of thousands, of probationary workers let go in mass firings across multiple agencies Thursday,

A second federal judge ruled Thursday that thousands of probationary employees laid off en masse by the Trump administration must be temporarily reinstated to their jobs.

Two different judges found the government didn’t follow the proper legal procedure in mass firings of probationary employees.

President Donald Trump's administration is expected on Friday to move ahead with a second wave of mass firings and budget cuts across the U.S. government, just one day after two federal judges ordered the reinstatement of thousands of workers.
