A Maryland judge ordered the Trump administration to reinstate thousands of probationary employees slashed from the federal workforce, stopping short of a nationwide injunction previously used against the White House.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — A federal judge who had ordered the Trump administration to reinstate fired federal probationary employees across the country at more than a dozen agencies has narrowed the scope of his ruling so it now applies to workers in the 19 states and the District of Columbia that challenged the mass dismissals.

The preliminary injunction orders 20 federal agencies to reinstate the terminated workers as the court case continues.

The order for the funds’ temporary restoration came after nonprofit groups challenged the government’s decision to cut funding for legal services for unaccompanied children arriving in the United States.
