At various agencies. Without first giving Congress 30 days' notice, which is illegal.

These IGs were created after Watergate, to prevent corruption and abuses of power.

This is going to make for some interesting court cases.

Anybody really think, then, that Trump means to clean up any corruption?!

Judge temporarily halts firing of head of federal ethics watchdog, Dellinger:

A federal judge reined in President Donald Trump’s firing spree Monday, ruling that a federal ethics watchdog can return to his job for at least a few days while the judge receives more detailed legal arguments about the case.

Judge Amy Berman Jackson issued the reprieve to Special Counsel Hampton Dellinger, after he sued to contest the Friday night email he received from the White House indicating he’d been dismissed from his position.

Trump must allow Dellinger to continue to have “access” to the agency’s resources and cannot “recognize the authority of any other person as Special Counsel” while the order remains in effect, Jackson wrote.

Jackson, an appointee of President Barack Obama, issued what she called an “administrative stay” restoring Dellinger to his post through Thursday night. In her brief order, she noted that he was confirmed by the Senate, is in the midst of a five-year term and that federal law dictates he "may be removed by the President only for inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance.”

This is not to say trump can't fire him, but it places a hold on how he is fired. There are protocols in place for good reason.

Dellinger is head of the Office of Special Counsel, but what about the inspectors general?

If your goal is to root out waste, fraud and abuse, you don't start by sacking the officials already doing that.

You do if it's you committing the waste, fraud and abuse! Think of all those subsidies that have gone to Elon Musk's companies, all the DOGE employees billing the government for their "services"!
