The judge temporarily blocks Trump plans for mass decisions and program closures

On Friday, a federal judge called for a two-week break in the plans of the Trump government for mass decisions and program closures, since two dozen agencies progress the greatest phase of the President's downsizing efforts, which the judge said, was illegal without a congress permit.

Of all the lawsuits who question the vision of President Trump to scal the form and function of the federal government dramatically, this is willing to achieve the widest effect. Most of the agencies have not yet announced their downsizing plans, but the government's employees have eagerly waited for announcements that have been expected for weeks.

Judge Susan Illston from the Federal District Court for the Northern District of California said that the government's efforts to dismiss workers and to close offices and programs caused an urgent threat to numerous critical services.

The congress has set up a certain process in which the federal government is reorganizing itself. The unions and organizations behind the lawsuit have argued that the president is not authorized to make these decisions without the legislative.

Judge Illston found that the procedure requires a congress with the congress on a plan to abolish or transfer a part of an agency.

“It is the priority of the presidents to pursue new political priorities and print their stamps for the federal government,” she wrote in a 42-page order. “But in order to carry out large overhaul of federal authorities, every president must use the help of his cooking and partners, the congress.”
