The deep state strikes again. A federal judge in San Francisco just ruled that tens of thousands of federal employees fired by the Trump administration must be reinstated immediately. U.S. District Judge William Alsup claims the terminations did not follow federal law, forcing the administration to send out reinstatement offers. This is a direct attack on the authority of the executive branch and another example of judicial interference blocking real reform. When an elected president cannot manage the government, who is really in charge?
The mass firings were part of an effort to cut waste and inefficiency in the bloated federal bureaucracy. The affected employees were spread across multiple agencies, including the Departments of Veterans Affairs, Agriculture, Defense, Energy, Interior, and Treasury. Many were still in their probationary period, meaning they had not earned the full protections of permanent employment. They were let go for a reason, but now a single judge thinks he knows better than the elected president of the United States.
Judge Alsup ruled that the Office of Personnel Management lacked the authority to carry out these dismissals. This claim defies common sense. The executive branch has every right to remove underperforming employees, especially those who are still in a trial period. If unelected judges can force a president to keep unnecessary workers on the payroll, what else can they dictate?
This ruling is not just about these jobs. It is about who runs the country. Activist judges are desperate to control every aspect of government, blocking any attempt to drain the swamp. The Trump administration is expected to appeal, but the fact that these battles must be fought in the first place is alarming. The American people voted for a president to lead, not for rogue judges to sabotage every effort to fix Washington.
The Supreme Court needs to step in before this gets worse. If this ruling stands, it will set a dangerous precedent. The judiciary will gain even more power over the executive branch, and future presidents will be shackled from making necessary reforms. This is not just about Trump. Any America First leader who tries to challenge the corrupt system will face the same resistance.
The deep state will not stop on its own. The courts must be checked. If the Supreme Court does not overturn this outrageous ruling, it will be another victory for the bureaucratic machine and another loss for the American people. The battle to take back control is far from over.
