Radical Clinton Judge Prohibits Trump OPM From Firing More Probationary Workers After Supreme Court Ruling
by Cristina Laila Apr. 19, 2025 6:00 pm235 Comments
On Friday evening, US District Judge William Alsup, a Clinton appointee, barred the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) from directing the termination of more probationary employees.
President Trump previously fired tens of thousands of probationary workers as he worked to downsize the federal government and cut waste.
Last month, Judge Alsup ordered the Trump Administration to rehire thousands of fired probationary employees in six federal agencies.
The six government agencies include: VA, DOD, Energy, Interior, Treasury, and Agriculture.

However, last Tuesday, the US Supreme Court temporarily blocked Judge Alsup’s order and sided with the Trump Administration.
On Friday evening, Judge Alsup called the “boiler template” used to fire the federal workers “a sham” and prohibited the OPM from directing the termination of more probationary employees.
Agencies, however, are allowed to fire workers individually based on performance.

In a separate case, a federal appeals court last Wednesday cleared the way for President Trump to fire thousands of probationary workers across 18 federal agencies.
Last month, a federal judge ordered the Trump Administration to rehire approximately 20,000 probationary workers across 18 different agencies.
US District Judge James Bredar, an Obama appointee, said the Trump Administration cannot conduct massive layoffs without warning the workers.
