💨 Abstract

A California judge ordered the Republican administration to temporarily halt its downsizing of the federal workforce. Judge Susan Illston issued an emergency order in response to a lawsuit filed by labor unions and cities, halting the implementation of President Donald Trump's executive order and subsequent memo aimed at reducing the federal workforce. The order, lasting 14 days, affects multiple federal agencies and does not require rehiring of laid-off workers. The judge emphasized that the president must act lawfully and with congressional cooperation.
