Federal agencies are removing the so-called Trump 'loyalty question' from job applications following a federal judge's ruling earlier this month that the question is likely unconstitutional. The question, introduced during the Trump administration, asked applicants about their allegiance to the president. The quiet removal suggests agencies are complying with the court's decision without public announcement, and the story is drawing attention as part of ongoing debates over civil service independence and the politicization of federal hiring.
