US EditionJudge blocks Trump administration mass layoffs at many U.S. agencies
- U.S. District Judge Susan Illston halted the Trump administration's May 9 directive that aimed to carry out widespread layoffs affecting numerous federal employees across roughly 20 agencies in San Francisco.
- The ruling responded to lawsuits from unions and municipalities arguing the administration lacked congressional approval for restructuring federal agencies and disregarded legal limits.
- Illston's order temporarily halts dismissals, requires reinstatement of already fired workers, and highlights likely illegality and potential public harm from deep cuts, including disaster relief and health services.

- The administration has appealed to the Supreme Court, asserting executive authority over workforce changes, while the legal battle over federal downsizing and its impact continues.
