  • The Trump administration can for now continue its mass firings of federal employees, a federal judge ruled on Thursday, rejecting a bid by a group of labor unions to halt President Donald Trump's dramatic downsizing of the roughly 2.

A U.S. federal judge has ruled that the Trump administration can proceed with the mass firing of federal workers, overturning a previous injunction that had temporarily halted the policy. This decision allows the implementation of Schedule F, an executive order by former President Donald Trump aimed at reclassifying tens of thousands of federal employees into at-will positions, thereby stripping them of civil service protections. The ruling came after a lawsuit by federal employee unions arguing that the policy would undermine the merit-based system and lead to politicization of the bureaucracy.
