A federal judge is ordering the Trump administration to reinstate thousands of previously terminated probationary employees across 18 different agencies.
U.S. District Judge James Bredar issued a temporary restraining order Thursday evening that requires the probationary employees be reinstated by March 17 and stops any ongoing mass firings.
This evening’s order came in a case brought by 20 Democratic attorneys general who sued to block the firings last week and is separate from a California judge’s decision also dealing with probationary employees that was issued earlier Thursday.
The order covers every major department other than the Pentagon, including the departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Education, Energy, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, Transportation and Veterans Affairs.
