The Trump administration was given the green light to fire thousands of federal workers by an appeals court on Wednesday, overturning a lower court order that forced the government to reinstate terminated probationary employees. In a 2-1 ruling, a panel of judges on the 4th US Circuit Court of Appeals found that the Trump administration is “likely to succeed in showing the district court lacked jurisdiction over Plaintiffs’ claims, and the Government is unlikely to recover the funds disbursed to reinstated probationary employees. ” The judges also cited Tuesday’s Supreme Court ruling staying a similar preliminary injunction issued by the US District Court for the Northern District of California, which had commanded the Trump administration to rehire probationary workers fired from six government departments — Agriculture, Defense, Energy, Interior, Treasury and Veterans Affairs.
