U.S. Judge Orders Reinstatement of Federal Workers Fired in Trump’s Workforce Purge

A California federal judge has ruled that six U.S. agencies must reinstate thousands of recently hired employees who were dismissed as part of President Donald Trump’s federal workforce purge. The decision marks a legal setback for Trump’s efforts to reshape the government by removing employees he deemed unnecessary or politically opposed to his administration.

The ruling could have broad implications for federal employment policies, potentially reversing key aspects of Trump’s push to restructure the civil service.
