A Federal Judge in California on Friday, Temporarily Blocked the U.S. State Department from Implementing an Agency-Wide Reorganization Plan that includes 2,000 Layoffs.
U.S. District Judge Susan Illston in San Francisco, during a Virtual Hearing said Her May Ruling Barring Federal Agencies from Laying Off Tens of Thousands of Employees at the Direction of Trump (R), applies to the Planned Overhaul announced by the State Department last month.
U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Lawyer Alexander Resar, said in response, that the State Department would Not Issue Layoff Notices that were Scheduled to go out on Saturday.
The State Department had Argued that its Re-Organization Plan submitted to Congress last month, Predated a February Executive Order and subsequent White House Memo directing Mass Layoffs, placing it Outside the Scope of Illston's Decision.
The Ruling came in a Lawsuit by a Group of Unions, Nonprofits, and Municipalities.
