A federal judge in Maryland has ordered that thousands of federal workers fired by the Trump administration be temporarily reinstated due to a lack of individualized assessments before termination. The judge issued a temporary restraining order against various federal agencies and departments that had terminated probationary workers without advance notice. The order applies to 12 departments, including Agriculture, Homeland Security, and Treasury, as well as agencies such as the EPA and SBA. The judge found that the government had dismissed about 200,000 probationary employees since Trump took office in January, and ruled that they must be given the opportunity to be reinstated. This decision follows a similar ruling in California that directed several federal departments to offer reinstatement to probationary employees who were terminated last month. The White House has not yet commented on the ruling.
