Recent developments highlight a significant intervention by federal watchdog agencies regarding a series of firings initiated by the Trump administration. The Office of Special Counsel (OSC) has deemed several terminations of probationary federal workers illegal and has taken steps to halt these actions. Key findings indicate that the mass firings might violate federal law, prompting a call for the reinstatement of at least six employees. The OSC has also moved to protect other probationary workers from further dismissals, citing that tens of thousands of recent terminations may be unlawful. In response to these actions, various federal oversight agencies are actively seeking to block the firings and ensure the rights of affected workers are reinstated.
