Judge Blocks Trump From Firing Federal Workers During Shutdown
U.S. District Judge Susan Illston has temporarily blocked the Trump administration from carrying out its mass firing of federal workers during the government shutdown.
This Wednesday ruling comes on day 15 of the shutdown, as thousands of federal workers have already been fired and thousands more remain on edge.
The case was brought forth by the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), which represent a combined 800,000 federal workers.
This is a developing story.
