US EditionTrump administration appeals order temporarily blocking federal workforce reductions
- On May 10, U.S. District Judge Susan Illston in California issued a temporary restraining order halting Trump administration's large-scale federal workforce reductions across over 20 agencies.
- This order responded to an April 28 lawsuit filed by unions and nonprofits challenging the administration's February executive order for workforce cuts and agency reorganizations that lacked Congressional authorization.
- A coalition of 21 states filed an amicus brief supporting the administration, asserting the Civil Service Reform Act provides the exclusive process for personnel actions and that the President has broad Article II authority over executive employees.
- Judge Illston emphasized that the President probably needs Congress's approval to implement the changes he desires, noting that the restraining order maintains the current conditions and prevents irreversible damage to the plaintiffs.
- The administration appealed the restraining order to the Ninth Circuit, with a hearing scheduled on May 22 to consider extending the injunction and the broader implications for executive authority and federal employment law.
