Trump Administration asks the Supreme Court to block the decision on mass decisions

On Friday, the Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to block the decision of a judge that temporarily had plans for mass debt and program closures in federal authorities.

Last week, judge Susan Illston from the Federal District Court for the northern district of California called for a two -week break to the government's measures, which they are illegal without the approval of the congress. Your order banned two dozen federal authorities with the greatest phase of President Trump's efforts to reduce the government.

In the emergency proposal submitted on Friday, D. John Sauer, the Attorney General argued that the “far -reaching order” of the plans “prevents almost the entire executive from formulating and implementing plans in order to reduce the size of the workers of federal employment”.

This decision was based on the unusual perspective that the President lacked the authority to lead executive agencies as he carried out large plans, said Sauer.

The judge Illston's judgment would prevent the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development from laying layoffs that it had planned for Sunday.

The application to the judges was the 15th emergency application that the administration had submitted to the Supreme Court since Mr. Trump returned to office in January. The applications included the invitation of the judges to increase a nationwide break for the end of Mr. Trump's birth law, to freeze more than 1 billion US dollars of foreign aid and to enable the deportation of Venezolans to a prison in El Salvador without adequate procedures.

In February, Mr. Trump signed an executive regulation in which the officials were instructed to design plans for “large” cuts in the federal work authority. Several unions, interest groups and local governments sued and tried to block order.

Judge Illston held an emergency negotiation last Friday and issued her decision just a few hours later.

In the 42-page decision, Judge Illston found that the government's attempt to dismiss workers and concludes offices and programs was an urgent threat to numerous critical services. She also found that the process required advice with the congress on a plan for the abolition or transfer of a federal government.

On Monday, the Trump government submitted an emergency application to the US Court of Appeal for the Ninth Circle and asked him to take the decision of the judge Illston until appeal. But the government informed the Supreme Court that such a decision would not come quickly enough.

The case of the mass releases of having the widest effect of the many complaints that were reaction to the efforts of Mr. Trump, the Federal Government were submitted to the Federal Government. Many agencies have not yet announced downsizing plans, but employees in the entire government have intentionally waited for announcements.
