Washington – Today, Rep. Mike Thompson (CA-04) released the following statement in response to a federal judge ordering the federal government to rehire thousands of probationary employees wrongly fired from their jobs. In his ruling, the judge slammed the Administration’s wrongful firing of employees, calling the President and Musk’s efforts a “sham”:
“A ‘sham’ is right. For months, President Trump and Elon Musk have unlawfully fired scores of federal workers who serve our veterans, support our farmers, ensure our national security, and more. Today’s ruling to reinstate tens of thousands of these essential public servants is a big win in our fight against the President’s unlawful actions.
“No person is above the law, which is why I’ve been working with my colleagues daily to fight the Administration in Congress, in the courts, and in the court of public opinion. Our efforts are working. I urge every American to keep holding the President and Musk’s feet to the fire.”
