- Federal court ruling on CDC probationary employee terminations — In September 2025, a federal judge ruled that the CDC's February terminations of probationary employees "went too far," finding them illegal. Some employees were reinstated and placed on administrative leave. However, the same judge's ruling, which specifically prohibited reorganization or termination of affected employees, was violated when those same employees received RIF notices in October.
