Democratic AGs in 19 states sue Trump administration over its mass firing of federal workers

A coalition of 20 Democratic Attorneys General, led by New York Attorney General Letitia James, filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration for mass firings of federal workers, claiming violations of federal law requiring 60 days' notice before layoffs.
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison stated that the firings caused immense harm to workers and state governments, as they now have to pay unemployment benefits to thousands of recently terminated employees.
The lawsuit seeks to halt further terminations and reinstate those who were fired since January 20, arguing that the Trump administration did not follow legal requirements for layoffs.
Ellison emphasized that regardless of the administration's views, laws governing federal workforce reductions must be followed, highlighting the need for adherence to legal standards in workforce management.
