A federal judge has blocked President Trump's administration from implementing large-scale staffing cuts and agency restructuring, as Congress did not authorize such measures. US District Judge Susan Illston sided with unions and local governments, stating that substantial changes require Congressional approval. The ruling halts Trumpâs plans for mass layoffs aimed at streamlining government functions and comes amidst ongoing lawsuits challenging the legality of the administration's actions. A hearing is set for May 22 to discuss a longer injunction.
The Trump administration's unlawful attempt to reorganize the federal government has thrown agencies into chaos, disrupting critical services provided across our nation.
As history demonstrates, the President may broadly restructure federal agencies only when authorized by Congress.
Laying off federal employees and reorganizing government functions haphazardly does not achieve that.
Illston scheduled a hearing for May 22 to consider a longer-lasting preliminary injunction.
