Dellinger is likely to appeal to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/tag\/supreme-court-of-the-united-states\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">U.S. Supreme Court<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Dellinger sued Mr. Trump last month after he was fired even though the law says special counsels can be removed by the president &#8220;only for inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office.&#8221; U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson, who was nominated to the bench by Democratic President Barack Obama, quickly <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/judge-rules-trump-firing-whistleblower-office-chief-hampton-dellinger-unlawful\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">reinstated<\/a><\/span> Dellinger in the job while he pursued his case.<\/p>\n<p>Dellinger&#8217;s lawyers say allowing the president to fire the special counsel without cause would have a chilling effect on the important duties of the office to protect whistleblowers. The ruling comes as Dellinger is also challenging the removal of probationary workers who were fired as part of the Trump administration&#8217;s shakeup of the federal government. <\/p>\n<p>The Trump administration has argued that the law protecting the special counsel from removal is unconstitutional and unfairly prevents the president from rightfully installing his preferred agency head. <\/p>\n<p>Jackson on Saturday ruled that Dellinger&#8217;s firing was unlawful and ordered that he remain in his post. But the appeals court lifted Jackson&#8217;s order blocking his removal while the court considers legal arguments in the case. <\/p>\n<p>The Office of Special Counsel is responsible for guarding the federal workforce from illegal personnel actions, such as retaliation for whistleblowing. It investigates whistleblower claims of reprisal, can pursue disciplinary action against employees who punish whistleblowers and provides a channel for employees to disclose government wrongdoing. <\/p>\n<p>After a request from Dellinger&#8217;s office, a government panel that enforces workers&#8217; rights ruled Wednesday that more than 5,000 employees fired by the Trump administration should be put back on the job at the U.S. Department of Agriculture. <\/p>\n<p>While the order applies only to the USDA workers, Dellinger released a statement &#8220;calling on all federal agencies to voluntarily and immediately rescind any unlawful terminations of probationary employees.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation
