A California federal judge has temporarily halted the Trump administration's efforts to initiate mass firings at US agencies, including the Department of Defense. This move comes as a significant setback for the administration's plans to overhaul the federal workforce. The ruling is a result of a lawsuit challenging the administration's authority to order such firings. The decision has sparked debate about government accountability and employee rights, with some advocating for greater transparency in the hiring and firing process. Key issues include federal employee rights, government accountability, and presidential authority. The case is being closely watched by labor unions and government agencies.
