What happened

Judge Ana Reyes ruled on 2025-09-24 that the administration unlawfully fired 17 IGs in violation of the Inspector General Act, but declined to reinstate them, reasoning they had not shown irreparable harm because Trump could lawfully re-fire them after giving Congress 30 days' notice.
