A federal judge is blocking the Trump administration’s mass firings of federal workers. A U.S. District Court judge ruled Thursday the Office of Personnel Management must rescind a memo that resulted in the mass firings of probationary employees.
The ruling said the firings were probably illegal — but it does not reinstate workers who have already been dismissed.
The judge also referred to probationary employees as “the lifeblood of our government.” Another court hearing is scheduled for March 13th.
