An American judge temporarily suspended several federal agencies from proceeding with the mass layoffs of public employees ordered by the President Donald Trump in February and entrusted to the doge, the body chaired by Elon Musk. Friday evening, the Californian judge Susan Ilston of the Californian district court has ordered a two -week suspension, believing that the measures of the Trump administration aimed at reducing federal staff require the approval of the congress.
«The Court believes that the president should presumably request the cooperation of the congress to have the changes it desiresand therefore issues a temporary restrictive order to suspend large cuts of staff in the meantime, “wrote Illston in the provision. Last week, a coalition of unions, non -profit organizations and six city governments and of County sued Trump, doge and federal agencies, including the Office of Management and Budget (Omb), claiming that they had passed the limits of their authority by firing mass without the go -ahead of the congress.
