US court won't lift judge's block on Trump's government overhaul

  • On Friday, a federal appeals panel declined to pause a judge's injunction that prevents the Trump administration from reducing the size of the federal workforce in San Francisco.
  • The order followed legal action from various labor organizations and municipalities such as San Francisco and Chicago, which contested the administration’s authority to implement workforce reductions.
  • The judge, Susan Illston, directed federal agencies to halt enforcement of a February executive order and a subsequent memo calling for large-scale personnel cuts and reorganization plans.
  • Tens of thousands of federal employees have been fired, placed on leave, or taken deferred resignation, with no official count available, while Trump claims voters gave him a mandate to remake government.
  • The appeals court decision keeps workforce cuts paused pending litigation, indicating potential impacts on systems like food safety and veteran health care and ongoing legal disputes over presidential authority.
