Appeals Court Halts Reinstatement of Federal Workers
Tap title to read story
A federal appeals court temporarily blocked a lower court's order to reinstate approximately 24,000 probationary federal workers. The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals stayed the order, pending a full appeal, arguing the lower court lacked jurisdiction. This follows a similar Supreme Court decision halting the reinstatement of 16,000 workers in California. The original Maryland ruling sided with states challenging the government's mass firings without proper notice. A dissenting judge argued the government violated legal notification requirements.
