In November, Congress passed and President Trump signed a continuing resolution to end the 43-day shutdown.
That measure also prohibited federal agencies from initiating or carrying out any further layoffs through January 30th.
Nevertheless, several federal employee unions told the court that civil servants at the Small Business Administration, the General Services Administration, and the State Department had gotten layoff notices.
District Judge Susan Ilsten ordered the Trump administration to rescind those notices and to halt previously planned layoffs at the Departments of Education and State.
The Trump administration contends the layoffs in question were initiated long before the shutdown.

The Protect America's Workforce Act targets an executive order President Trump signed back in March.
It ended collective bargaining rights for most federal workers.
Since then, agencies including FEMA, the VA, and the Environmental Protection Agency have canceled their union contracts, ending agreements over policies such as telework, disciplinary procedures, and parental leave.
The House bill would vacate Trump's executive order, restoring those contracts and employees' rights to be represented by a union.
