Trump administration reinstates over 30,000 federal workers

The Trump administration is working to comply with court orders to reinstate over 30,000 federal workers fired during their probationary periods. Some employees have already received notices about their return to the payroll. Affected employees will initially be placed on paid administrative leave instead of returning to their jobs. Two federal judges issued rulings requiring reinstatement, with one order set to expire on March 27. The administration has appealed the court rulings, which deemed the firings unlawful for not considering employee performance. The White House and the Office of Personnel Management have not commented on the situation.
