US EditionJudge orders temporary halt to Trump administration's government overhaul
- On Friday in San Francisco, Judge Susan Illston issued an emergency order blocking much of the Trump administration's workforce downsizing.
- The order followed a lawsuit filed last week by labor unions and cities challenging President Trump's February executive order to shrink federal agencies.
- The restraining order covers multiple federal agencies such as those responsible for farming, energy, workforce, natural resources, foreign affairs, finance, and veterans' services, temporarily suspending layoffs and efforts to dismantle personnel.
- Judge Illston indicated that the President probably needs to seek Congressional support before implementing the changes he wants, and the temporary restraining order she issued will remain in effect for 14 days.
- This ruling temporarily halts large-scale federal workforce cuts but does not require rehiring and may influence future executive branch restructuring efforts under legal constraints.
