President of President Donald Trump has violated the constitution for a federal workforce for a radical reorganization of the federal workforce, said the US District Court Judge Susan Iston for the northern district of California.
He gave a temporary preventive order requested by the labor unions, non -profit organizations and municipal government coalition to prevent nationwide activists.
This decision is the biggest setback for Trump’s efforts so far, which is seen to cut the cost to the federal government and as administrative bloat. The administration appealed for a decision for the US Court of appeals for the ninth circuit in early Saturday.
Iston, who appointed Clinton, said in a hearing in San Francisco on Friday that she was “willing to give a preventive order to protect the power of the Legislative Branch”.
“The President has the right to find changes in the executive branch agencies, but he should do so in law and in the case of large -scale restructuring, with the support of the legislative branch,” Iluston said in his order issued after the hearing. “Many presidents have earlier demanded this cooperation; many repetitions of the Congress have provided it.”
The plaintiff filed a lawsuit later last month, claiming that Trump reopen the executive branch and its agencies without re -exposed his constitutional right. The Trump administration has fired thousands of employees from agencies including the Department of Health and Human Services and Consumer Financial Security Bureau.
The plaintiff, including the American Federation of Government Employees, said that the administration plans to do hundreds of thousands and more and more work in agencies including departments of labor, state, defense and energy. The complaint one February 11 points to the executive order, which reorganized the entire agencies and demanded “a significant change of the federal bureaucracy”.
