Court denies stay on reinstatement of fired employees

A divided Ninth Circuit panel denied the Trump administration’s request to pause a California court order reinstating probationary federal workers fired from six agencies. The Office of Personnel Management sought an administrative stay, but the panel ruled it would disrupt the status quo. The case impacts thousands of federal workers, including those in the Department of the Interior and Veterans Affairs. The administration vows to challenge the ruling.
