A Federal Judge on Wednesday, Blocked the Trump (R) Administration’s Plans to Lay Off Thousands of Federal Workers during the Government Shutdown, saying it appears to be Politically Motivated.
U.S. District Judge Susan Illston, a Clinton (D) Appointee based in California, Ruled from the Bench after an Afternoon Hearing, saying that the Administration isn’t following Legal Requirements for Conducting Reductions in Force (RIFs), and that Officials have Exceeded their Authorities.
Illston also cited Public Comments about the Shutdown made by Trump, Vice-President JD Vance (R), and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Russ Vought (R), adding that the Layoffs appear to be Unlawfully Targeted at Democrats.
The Judge’s Order Blocks Administration Officials from “taking any action” to issue RIF Notices to Federal Workers represented by the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), the Country’s Largest Federal Employees’ Union.
