The Trump administration, for the first time, has confirmed that nearly 25,000 newly hired federal workers were fired as part of a workforce reduction in recent months. This revelation, made through court filings, comes after a judge ruled that these terminations were likely illegal. Efforts are now underway to reinstate these workers.
The filings, submitted Monday in Baltimore, Maryland, showed that 18 federal agencies terminated probationary employees. Following a ruling by U.S. District Judge James Bredar, steps are being taken to restore their positions, Reuters reported.
