DOGE v. Federal Employees
🔴 UPDATE: February 20, 2025
A federal judge has ruled in favor of the Trump administration, allowing mass terminations of probationary federal employees to proceed—marking the largest federal workforce purge in modern history. U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper denied an injunction sought by labor unions, effectively giving DOGE free rein to gut federal agencies under the guise of “efficiency.”
🚨 Key Developments:
6,700 IRS Workers Terminated – The IRS began firing employees on Thursday, targeting compliance divisions, sparking concerns that tax enforcement and auditing capabilities will be crippled.
50,000 Defense Department Jobs on the Chopping Block – The administration has announced plans to slash 50,000 positions from the Department of Defense (DoD), with terminations expected to begin as early as Friday.
Judge Claims Hands Are Tied – In his ruling, Judge Cooper stated that the courts lack jurisdiction to block the firings, telling unions to seek relief through the Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA)—a bureaucratic dead end that buys the administration time to complete the purge.
🔍 Consequences:
IRS Gutted Ahead of Tax Season – With thousands of compliance officers fired, tax audits, enforcement actions, and refund processing will be severely disrupted, potentially costing the U.S. government billions in lost revenue.
Defense Readiness Compromised – The planned 50,000 layoffs at the Pentagon include civilian contractors, intelligence analysts, and logistics personnel, raising alarms about national security vulnerabilities and the hollowing out of military support infrastructure.
Unions Dealt a Blow, But Fight Continues – Federal labor unions warn that more legal challenges are coming, arguing that the layoffs exceed presidential authority and violate union protections. However, with this ruling, Trump’s administration can continue mass firings unchecked—for now.
