A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration's plans to lay off thousands of federal workers during the ongoing government shutdown. The ruling follows the issuance of layoff notices to over 4,100 employees, as White House Budget Director Russell Vought indicated potential layoffs could exceed 10,000. The judge expressed concerns about the legality and motivations behind the firings, citing evidence of faulty procedures and potential violations of workers' rights. A hearing is scheduled for October 28 to further discuss the case.
