Mass firings continue
Judge's Order:
A federal judge recently gave the green light for the Trump administration to continue its mass firings of federal employees — for now.
U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper refused to temporarily block the Trump administration’s mass layoffs of federal workers while a separate lawsuit brought by five unions moves forward.
The ruling is temporary while lawsuits continue to play out in the court system. The White House has defended the firings as necessary to downsize the government, cut spending and lower the deficit.
The judge says unions must bring their claims under federal employment law rather than in district court.
