A federal judge in Maryland has ruled that President Donald Trump’s termination of three Democratic members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) was unlawful, ordering their reinstatement. U.S. District Judge Matthew Maddox, a Biden appointee, sided with the three ousted members — Mary Boyle, Alexander Hoehn-Saric, and Richard Trumka Jr. — in a ruling that their firings were unlawful and ordered all three members to be reinstated to their posts. The decision highlights the ongoing legal battles over Trump’s authority to remove members of independent agencies, with the case set to move to higher courts for further review.
