Democrat-led states sue Trump over mass firings of federal workers
Attorney-General of New York and 19 others on Thursday night filed a lawsuit against the administration of President Donald Trump’s mass firings of some federal workers.
The lawsuit in Maryland federal court – filed jointly with California, Arizona, Colorado and other Democrat-led states, alleged that President Donald Trump illegally fired tens of thousands of federal workers.
It urged the court to reinstate those workers and stop the administration from firing additional employees illegally.
Trump faces additional lawsuits by fired federal workers and has suffered recent legal setbacks as he and Tesla CEO Elon Musk engage in a lightning campaign to root out what they describe as fraud and waste in government.
The states, in their complaint on Thursday, alleged that the Trump’s administration violated laws and regulations for laying off federal workers by failing to notify them in advance and firing them without justification
