“Federal law provides a pathway for the President to execute a large-scale reduction in force, but this administration, once again, acted extrajudicially to carry out its wishes without regard for the law, impact on the federal government, or the states,” said Attorney General Nessel. “I am pleased that Judge Bredar acted swiftly to minimize the dangerous impact this could have had across the nation.”
The temporary restraining order enjoins the majority of federal agencies from completing further firings and requires them to reinstate affected probationary employees. It excludes the National Archives and Records Administration, the Office of Personnel Management, and the Department of Defense. The restraining order will remain in place for 14 days while the Judge considers arguments for a preliminary injunction. The order also requires that the restrained Defendants file a status report documenting the actions that they have taken to comply with this order by March 17, 2025.
