A federal district court judge in Maryland has ordered the Trump administration to temporarily rehire at least 24,000 probationary employees who were recently fired from federal agencies. The decision came in response to a lawsuit led by Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown, who argued that states were not given sufficient notice of the terminations, leading to economic hardships. The government claimed the firings were due to performance issues, but the judge found evidence suggesting they were part of a Reduction of Force effort. This ruling, along with a similar one in California, has drawn backlash from the White House, with President Trump vowing to fight back. Critics, including Elon Musk, have raised concerns about the separation of powers and the enforcement of these court orders. The administration has filed a motion with the Supreme Court to address nationwide injunctions, indicating a continued legal battle over these firings.
