A federal judge, U.S. District Judge Susan Illston, indicated her intent to issue a long-term injunction against the Trump administration's layoffs, citing these actions as unlawful and unconstitutional. During a hearing in San Francisco, she suggested plaintiffs likely have a strong case to halt the layoff plans required by the administration. Judge Illston's temporary restraining order has already prevented several federal agencies from implementing their reorganization plans, which she argued usurp the legislative powers of Congress and disrupt the balance of government authority.
