The judge temporarily rules Trump’s plans for collective hairstyles and closing programs
On Friday, a federal judge called for a two -week interruption in the Trump’s collective workers ’plans, with the exception of dozens of agencies from moving forward at a larger stage of efforts to reduce the size of the president, which the judge said was illegal without the license of Congress.
Among all the lawsuits that challenge President Trump’s vision to greatly expand the form and function of the federal government, this introduction is about to have a broader impact so far. Most agencies have not yet announced their plans to reduce their size, but employees all over the government are eagerly awaiting ads that were expected on any day for weeks so far.
A few hours after the emergency session on Friday, Judge Susan Eleneston from the Federal Provincial Court in the Northern California region ordered the government to stop the demobilization of collective workers as well as efforts to close offices and programs.
Congress created a specific process for the federal government to reorganize itself. The unions and organizations behind the lawsuit have argued that the president has no power to make these decisions without the legislative branch.
Judge Elston wrote 42 pages: “It is within the jurisdiction of the presidents to follow the priorities of the new policy and print their seal on the federal government.” “But to make large -scale reports of federal agencies, any head of recruitment must assist the Participated branch and partner, Congress.”
While unions and other organizations have filed a lawsuit against the federal government because of the procedures of other employees, including random shooting at thousands of test workers earlier this year, this is the first time that this wide alliance has gathered to challenge the administration’s actions. Prosecutors of the ambitious lawsuit included trade unions, non -profit organizations, six cities and provinces – including Baltimore, Chicago, San Francisco and Harris Province, Texas, Houston’s home.
The coalition said in a joint statement: “The Trump administration’s illegal attempt to reorganize the federal government has threw the agencies in chaos, which led to the disruption of critical services provided throughout our security.” “Each of us represents deeply investing societies in the efficiency of the federal government – which leads to the demobilization of federal employees and the reorganization of government jobs randomly does not achieve this.”
the suitAnd, which was presented last week, is the latest in progressing the challenges that all focused on the erosion of federal civil service since President Trump took office.
She has registered fixed efforts for bowel agencies in recent months, which she said not only has damaged tens of thousands of federal workers and their families, but also residents of cities and provinces concerned, as critical health services, the benefits of old warriors, environmental protection, and disaster relief assistance have been cast or in doubt.
In a specific case, there are “valid discounts” that are looming on the horizon, which is the largest part of the efforts of Mr. Trump’s government. Earlier this year, his administration launched thousands of test staff. But the current stage is expected to reduce hundreds of thousands.
The agencies were granted guidelines and a summary schedule to complete the reorganization plans earlier this year. The government has reorganized this way before, but unprecedentedly on this large scope and on this short schedule.
By April 14, the agencies had to send their final plans to the Personnel Management Office and the Management and Budget Office, which were providing guidance. Some agencies have announced the preliminary layoffs even before the deadline.
For example, the Ministry of Health and Humanitarian Services launched 10,000 employees in early April. In some cases, the offices were closed and the programs were closed. The employees were placed on an administrative leave and their equipment is closed immediately.
The employees of other agencies were slaming the upcoming ads and receiving the minimum information about who would be affected. In order to meet the White House’s demands for discounts, some agencies offer resignation incentives, which are currently reviewed and processed. The additional discounts will be determined after the agency’s leaders will have a better feeling of the place where there is a vacant resignation and early retirement.
To complete the lawsuit, lawyers submitted about 1,300 pages of right -wing data Health providersand Housing inspectorsand Law enforcement and firefightersAnd others document the ways that affected the federal government that affected their lives and their work.
During the Friday session, Eric Hamilton, a lawyer from the Ministry of Justice, claimed that the group alliance behind the lawsuit was a legal problem, because trade union workers face the demobilization of workers, non -profit organizations and local governments that bear the burden of federal services that were cut in separate categories, “with clearly distinguished taxes.
Mr. Hamilton added that Mr. Trump’s authority to reorganize federal agencies is expanding and that the executive orders he signed to impose changes that were generally outside the court’s authority for review.
Daniel Leonard, a lawyer who represents the groups that filed a lawsuit, said that the Trump administration’s vision is to destroy the services funded mainly by Congress, and to raise a deep separation of the authorities’ conflict, as Congress established a specific operation for the federal government to reorganize itself.
“There is an assumption of the regularity that was present in relation to the actions of the government, which I think needed to re -perceive it,” she said.
Ms. Leonard said that the Trump administration was unable to refer to any specific authority in which the president could seize this power from Congress. She said that the government has consistently provided competing and contradictory explanations for a reason that Mr. Trump was able to allow the tremendous restructuring without Congress.
She said: “It is Uruburus: the snake eats its tail.”
