Maryland has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, accusing them of illegally laying off federal probationary workers as part of efforts to reduce the federal workforce. This action has led to significant economic consequences for the affected families and burdened states with increased unemployment claims and reduced tax revenue. The lawsuit, joined by a coalition of 20 attorneys general, claims that the firings did not follow federal regulations for mass layoffs or reductions in force. The state officials argue that the administration failed to provide advance notice of the firings, causing harm to states and residents. The lawsuit seeks to reinstate the terminated workers and declare the terminations illegal. Maryland officials estimate that the state could lose about 29,000 jobs due to the administration’s actions, further straining the state’s budget. The attorneys general involved in the lawsuit are from a total of 19 states and the District of Columbia, challenging the Trump administration’s handling of the dismissals of federal probationary employees.
