This was an earlier case.

There was a suit filed a couple days ago that covered HHS -

Trump administration sued over mass firings by workers at five agencies

March 11 (Reuters) - A group of U.S. government employees who lost their jobs as part of President Donald Trump's purge of the federal workforce filed a lawsuit on Tuesday claiming the mass firings of recently-hired workers is illegal and should be reversed. The proposed class action in Washington, D.C. federal court appears to be the first of its kind against the Trump administration by probationary government employees, who typically have spent less than a year in their current roles and have fewer job protections than other federal workers.

Unions that have sued over the mass firings of thousands of probationary workers are facing procedural hurdles, and Tuesday's lawsuit says political turmoil at the board that hears federal workers' appeals of their terminations may render that process futile.
"What is needed is for this court to order the defendant agencies to return all affected employees to work for at least the pendency of this litigation," the plaintiffs said in the complaint.

The lawsuit was filed by eight probationary employees who were fired over the last few weeks and are seeking to represent a class of more than 4,000 people at the five agencies where they worked. They claim the mass firings violated workers' due process rights under the U.S. Constitution and were improper because agencies did not identify performance issues on a case-by-case basis or give workers an opportunity to respond.

The plaintiffs worked at the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Treasury Department, the Commerce Department, and the General Services Administration.
