20 states sue Trump over mass firings saying Musk’s DOGE skipped required notices
The administration failed to provide notice before the mass firings, the states argue
Summary
Twenty Democratic-leaning state attorneys general sued the Trump administration over mass firings of federal employees, alleging violations of federal regulations requiring 60-day advance notice.
The lawsuit claims the abrupt terminations have caused financial hardship for workers and strained state resources.
The AGs demand a halt to the layoffs, reinstatement of affected employees, and future compliance with labor laws.
DOGE, led by Elon Musk, has faced backlash for abruptly and haphazardly firings, with some rehiring efforts amid bipartisan calls to slow down cost-cutting measures.
