A federal judge on Thursday ruled the Trump administration must "immediately [reinstate]" tens of thousands of probationary federal employees "unlawfully [terminated]" by the government, ABC News Katherine Faulders reports.

The article discusses a significant legal decision where a federal judge reversed the Trump administration's attempt to reclassify and subsequently fire approximately 20,000 federal workers. The administration had sought to label these employees as "Schedule F" workers, which would strip them of their civil service protections, making it easier to dismiss them. This move was criticized as a "sham firing" and an attempt to undermine the merit-based system of federal employment. The judge's ruling highlighted that the reclassification was not only procedurally flawed but also an unconstitutional overreach, aimed at replacing career civil servants with political appointees. The decision was seen as a victory for federal workers' rights and the integrity of the civil service system, preventing what was described as a "power grab" by the Trump administration.
