The Trump administration faces a lawsuit from the attorneys general of Washington D.C., Maryland, and 18 other states over the mass firing of federal employees. The lawsuit claims that more than 20 federal agencies improperly terminated probationary employees in an attempt to reduce their headcount. The states argue that the agencies failed to follow proper procedures, including notifying states in advance as required by federal law. The attorneys general believe that rapid response teams are essential in supporting workers who have lost their jobs, and that advance notice of mass layoffs allows states to quickly provide assistance. They have requested a temporary restraining order to halt the firings and reinstate terminated employees. A hearing for the case is scheduled for March 12. The lawsuit is just one of several legal challenges against the Trump administration seeking relief for thousands of fired workers. The attorneys general aim to protect the stability of regional economies and prevent fired employees from relying on public assistance by ensuring agencies follow proper procedures when reducing their workforce.
