New York Attorney General Letitia James and a coalition of attorneys general have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration over the illegal termination of thousands of probationary federal employees. The lawsuit argues that this action violated federal law, which requires a 60-day notice before mass layoffs. This abrupt dismissal caused considerable disruption in federal services and forced many states to quickly address unemployment claims. In New York, there were significant layoffs in multiple federal departments, including the IRS and VA, further straining resources during critical times.
Whether it's providing health care to our veterans, keeping our communities safe, or ensuring our children get a quality education, federal employees provide essential services every day.
The advance notice is meant to allow states to mobilize resources for unemployment claims and other support for affected workers.
