Two federal judges refused this week, preventing the Trump administration from firing federal workers and carrying out massive layoffs, allowing the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to detect and cut wasted government spending at any time.
On Thursday, U.S. District Court Judge Christopher Cooper dismissed requests from several federal unions, including the National Treasury Department Employees Union (NTEU), to suspend the Trump administration’s massive shooting of federal workers.
NTEU and four other unions representing federal employees – National Federation of Federal Employees; International Association of Mechanics and Aerospace Workers; International Association of Mechanics and Aerospace Workers; International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers; International Federation of International Unions, United Automobile, Aviation Aerospace and agricultural workers – Complaint filed on February 12, challenging the probationary employee’s dismissal and postponement of resignation plans.
The resignation program provides federal employees with forks, meaning they can return to the office or they can quit and continue to be paid by September, although they have to make a decision by February 6. Delayed until February 12 and then closed on the same day.

The union introduced a temporary restraining order (TRO) and preliminary injunction to prevent the firing of probation employees in all federal agencies on February 14 and the promotion of resignation plans on February 14, sending them to Cooper the next day Court.
However, Cooper denied the claim, saying the court lacked jurisdiction over the union’s claims.
Instead, Cooper ruled that unions must meet the challenges through the Federal Services Labor Relations Regulations that stipulate the Federal Labor Relations Administration’s administrative review.

In another case, 14 states asked U.S. District Court Judge Tanya S. Chutkan to issue a TRO to prevent billionaires Elon Musk and Doge from visiting the Office of Personnel Management at the Department of Education’s Office of Personnel Management (OPM) ( OPM) data system. 14 days after the order was issued, the Ministry of Energy, Transport and the Ministry of Commerce’s Human Services.
The plaintiff also requested Chutkan’s order to prohibit Musk and thresholds from termination, leave or leave, any federal officials or employees of these agencies.

Chutkan wrote this week: “The court realized that Doge’s unpredictable actions led to great uncertainty and confusion about the plaintiffs and their many institutions and residents.”
She finally ruled that Doge could continue to operate and maintain its status as it is.
