What was done: Fired 17 inspectors general, the internal watchdogs who police misuse of government power. A federal judge ruled the firings unlawful.

On January 24, 2025, at least 17 agency inspectors general were dismissed by two-sentence emails citing “changing priorities.” The Inspector General Act requires 30 days’ notice to Congress with case-specific reasons. On September 24, 2025, Judge Ana C. Reyes ruled that the firings violated the Act but declined to reinstate the officials.
