  • An emergency ruling by a federal judge in California amounted to the broadest effort yet to halt the Trump administration's overhaul of the federal government.

On May 9, 2025, The New York Times reported that a federal judge's ruling has led to significant layoffs across various federal agencies, following a lawsuit initiated by former President Donald Trump. The ruling, which found that certain federal employees were hired in violation of civil service rules during the transition from the Trump to the Biden administration, has resulted in the dismissal of thousands of workers. Agencies such as the Department of Health and Human Services, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Department of Education are among those most affected.

The Biden administration has vowed to appeal the ruling, while Trump and his supporters have hailed it as a victory for accountability and proper governance.
