US judge blocks Trump administration from firing federal employees on probation

  • A federal judge ruled that the Trump administration cannot quickly fire probationary federal workers in 19 states and Washington, D.C., requiring adherence to layoff procedures for mass firings as mandated by law.
  • U.S. District Judge James Bredar issued a preliminary injunction protecting workers in the states involved, stating the firings must follow specific rules and advance notice.
  • Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown claimed the mass firings by the Trump administration were a coordinated effort to undermine the federal workforce, not just performance issues.
  • The government has appealed the decision, arguing it has the right to manage its workforce without state interference, while the case continues in court.
