In his final decision, the judge said the SCOTUS decision was nebulous and did not prevent his final order. Alsup castigated the Trump administration for both its actions and its presentation before the court, saying it obfuscated key information. Normally, Alsup said, his findings would require the Trump administration to return all probationers to their jobs. “Corrective notices shall not contain further statements from each agency concerning the validity of this court’s ruling or the agency’s opinions on this court’s ruling,” Alsup said. Last week, an appeals court in Maryland sided with the Trump administration in ordering another case involving probationary employee firings be dismissed.
