US judge blocks Trump administration from firing federal employees on probation

A federal judge ruled that the Trump administration cannot fire probationary federal workers in 19 states and Washington, D.C., without following legal procedures for mass layoffs.
U.S. District Judge James Bredar stated that the administration's mass firings lacked proper advance notice to states and local governments.
Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown stated that the mass firings were part of a coordinated effort to reduce the federal workforce illegally.
The lawsuit claims that the mass firings may cause significant burdens on the states due to unemployment assistance claims for the terminated workers.
