Two federal judges have commanded the Trump administration to rehabilitate tens of thousands of government employees in recent weeks, in a major legal setback to lead the aggressive cost of Elon Mousse.

Either way, the Trump administration ordered the restoration of test staff during 19 federal agencies. The judges decided that the workers had been expelled in a breach of the rules surrounding the collective hairstyles of government employees.

On Thursday night, James Burder, Maryland Provincial Judge, issued a temporary order to guide the government to return employees in agencies including the US Treasury, Energy and Trade departments, the Consumer Financial Protection Office and the US International Development Agency.

“The expired test staff has not been clearly finished for the reason,” although the federal government insists that they wrote a priest in a note accompanying his matter.

It was also found that the federal government gave “no prior notice” for what was actually valid, which was damaged that “he was not ready for the influence of many unemployed persons.”

Breider noted that the states that filed a lawsuit against the federal government claimed at least 24,000 workers under observation.

Earlier on Thursday, William Alsoub, the San Francisco Provincial Judge, demanded that the staff of the immediate test in six agencies, including the Ministry of Defense, demanded that government workers’ representatives argued that they had been illegally expelled.

ALSUP found that the Personnel Management Office, a governmental human resources agency, was one of the main vehicles used by the so -called Musk Ministry of Governmental efficiency (Dog), has no legal authority to request such a chapter.

In a hearing on Thursday, Alsup also criticized the United States government for its failure to send the OPM representative or any other official to answer questions about the recent hairdos-despite the explicit court-and expressed doubts about the Trump administration’s claim that those who were launched had been performing in their roles.

“The law is clear that OPM has no authority to the federal agency order to dismiss its employees,” said Daniel Leonard, a lawyer at Altshuler Berzon, who represents the prosecutor. “Today’s ruling is an important first step in holding this administration accountable.”

Court orders are the latest in a series of strikes to the Crusade to reduce costs. This month, the Supreme Court Hand request Forcing the government to pay 2 billion dollars in foreign aid contracts that the Trump administration tried to cancel, while the judges in the lower courts were prevented from musk envoys from accessing some sensitive information.

The United States government has also moved to clarify the direction issued shortly after Trump’s inauguration regarding test employees, while emphasizing that it is up to individual agencies to make employee decisions.

Trump urged last week musk Use “scalpel” Instead of “hatred” to determine the savings, after it has pushed the size and breadth of cuts and hairstyles to protest even from Republican lawmakers.

In a statement on the ALSUP order, White House press secretary Caroline Levita accused the judge “of trying to seize the employment and launch power of the executive branch unconstitutionally.”

She said: “If the federal provincial court judge wants the executive forces, they can try to run for the presidency themselves.” “The Trump administration will immediately fight against this ridiculous and unconstitutional system.”
