Judge makes a big one

San Francisco (AP) – The Trump government has to hire a large part of its dramatic reduction in the federal employees, a California judge instructed on Friday.

The judge Susan Illston in San Francisco issued the emergency resolution test in a lawsuit submitted last week by unions and cities, one of the legal challenges against the efforts of the Republican President Donald Trump to reduce the size of a federal government, which he inflated and designated expensive.

“The Court claims that the president will probably have to apply for the cooperation of the congress in order to organize the changes striving by it, and thus a temporary interim order for the break in the meantime in the meantime,” wrote Illston in her command.

The temporary injunction indicates numerous federal authorities to hire the president's action Workers -Executive Order signed in February and a The following memo issued of the Efficiency of the government's Ministry And the office of personnel management.

The order that runs within 14 days does not require that the departments will resume people. The plaintiffs requested the date of the entry into force of a measure of an agency shift and that the departments no longer implement or enforce the implementation or enforcement of the executive regulation, including the invitation of further measures.

They limited their application to departments in which the dismantling is already underway or is in progress, including the department The US Ministry of Health and the human servicewhich announced in March 10,000 employees are released and departments are centralized.

Illston, who was appointed the bank by former President Bill Clinton, a democrat, said at a hearing on Friday that the president had the authority to apply for changes in the departments and agencies of the executive created by the congress.

“But he has to do this lawfully,” she said. “He has to do this with the cooperation of the congress, the constitution is structured.”

Trump repeatedly said the voters gave him a mandate to redesign the federal government, and he typed the billionaire Elon Musk to lead the indictment through Doge.

Tens of thousands of federal workers were released, their work left through postponed resignation programs or on leave due to Trump's state efforts. There are Not an official figure for the job cutsBut at least 75,000 federal employees have resigned, and thousands of probation employees have already been released.

In her order, Illston gave several examples to show the effects of downsizing. A union that represents federal employees who are faced by the mining workers said it was ready to lose 221 out of 222 workers in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, office; A farmer in Vermont did not receive timely inspection on his property in order to receive disaster help after flooding and miss an important plant window. A reduction in employees of the social security management has led to longer waiting times for recipients.

All affected agencies were created by the congress, she noticed.

The government's lawyers argued on Friday that the executive regulation and the memo, in which they were requested on a large scale, should only be available to general principles for the exercise of their own decision -making process.

“It expressly invites you to comment and proposals for the legislator's commitment as part of the guidelines that want to implement these agencies,” said Eric Hamilton, deputy deputy attorney in general, about the memo. “It shows instructions.”

But Danielle Leonard, a lawyer of the plaintiffs, said it was clear that President Dogge and OPM make decisions outside of their authority and did not invite any dialogue of agencies.

“You are not waiting for these planning documents to go through long processes, she said.” You do not ask for approval and do not wait for it. “

The temporary injunction applies to departments, including the departments for agriculture, energy, work, internal, state, financial and veteran matters.

It also applies to the National Science Foundation, Small Business Association, Social Security Administration and Environmental Protection Agency.

Some of the unions and non -profit groups are also plaintiffs in another complaint in front of a judge in San Francisco who questions the mass shots of probation workers. In this case, judge William ordered the government in March restore these workers, But the Supreme Court of the United States Later his order blocked.

The plaintiffs include the cities of San Francisco, Chicago and Baltimore; Labor Group American Federation of Government Officer; and non -profit groups Alliance for Renttired Americans, Center for Taxpayer Rights and Coalition to protect the America National Parks.
