Federal judges in two separate cases ruled this week that recent mass firings of employees as part of President Donald Trump’s push to cut the size of the federal workforce were illegal and ordered thousands of probationary employees to be reinstated — at least for now.

"You cannot have a low-level district court judge filing an injunction to usurp the executive authority of the president of the United States," she added.
