Critics say Trump administration firing of thousands of federal workers both violates the US Constitution and is reckless, with critical employees shown the door - Anadolu Ajansı

A federal personnel board on Wednesday ordered the U.S. Department of Agriculture to reinstate a fired worker, as well as "numerous" other probationary employees who were fired Feb. 13 and later. The Merit Systems Protection Board issued the ruling at the request of the Office of Special Counsel,

Following a legal challenge, the Merit Systems Protection Board denied the Trump administration's attempts to fire 6000 USDA employees and reinstated them.

The decision is a blow to the Trump administration’s effort to drastically and quickly shrink the federal bureaucracy.
