A judge has issued a preliminary injunction preventing the Trump administration from implementing layoffs at major federal agencies, ruling that the president likely overstepped legal boundaries. This order extends an earlier restraining order and emphasizes that congressional authorization is necessary for significant agency reorganizations. Judge Illston's detailed review revealed that proposals for layoffs were often rejected by the agencies themselves, raising concerns about the disruption of essential services. The lawsuit was supported by a coalition including unions and nonprofits advocating for federal workforce stability.
The Trump administration's unlawful attempt to reorganize the federal government has thrown agencies into chaos, disrupting critical services provided across our nation. Each of us represents communities deeply invested in the efficiency of the federal workforce.
Judge Susan Illston’s order specifically pauses any implementation related to Agency RIF and Reorganization Plans, which she called 'hastily constructed and likely unconstitutional'.
