Democrat Bill Seeks Reinstatement of Veterans Fired Under Trump
Representative Derek Tran’s new bill mandates the reinstatement of veterans unjustly dismissed from federal service since President Trump’s second term began, impacting nearly 6,000 individuals. The legislation also requires federal agencies to report on these dismissals and justify their actions. While facing an uphill battle in the Republican-controlled House, the bill highlights Democratic efforts to counter the Trump administration’s widespread firings within the Department of Government Efficiency. Tran emphasizes the bill’s bipartisan potential, aiming to protect veterans regardless of political affiliation.
