| Appeals Court Rejects Trump''s Effort to Reverse Reinstatement of Federal Workers |
| 2025-03-18 |
| [TOWNHALL] The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday ruled against a Trump administration request to halt a court order forcing the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to reinstate federal workers who had been fired. This development comes amid efforts to shrink the size and scope of the government — especially in the executive branch. The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) filed a lawsuit against the administration after six federal agencies terminated probationary employees in February. The district court ruled against the administration, claiming the firings were wrongful. It issued a preliminary injunction and ordered the agencies to ''immediately offer reinstatement to any and all probationary employees'' who lost their jobs. The White House sought an emergency stay, arguing that reinstating the employees would create a significant administrative burden. However, the hip bone's connected to the leg bone... the appeals court denied the request, saying that issuing a stay on the order would ''disrupt the status quo and turn it on its head.'' The government sought an emergency stay, arguing that reinstating employees would impose a significant administrative burden, but the court rejected this, emphasizing that a stay would ''disrupt the status quo and turn it on its head.'' The majority decision, authored by Judges Barry Silverman and Ana de Alba, argued that keeping the district court's order in place was necessary to maintain stability in the proceedings. They cited National Urban League v. Ross and asserted that district court's decision was correct.
