Donald Trump’s mass layoff: Richter stops plans of the President

According to media reports, a US federal judge has temporarily suspended the massively promoted mass estimation of state employees from US President Donald Trump and thus put Trump’s radical course a sensitive damper. As the “Washington Post” reported on Thursday, the California federal judge William Alsup indicated the authority for personnel management to withdraw the guidelines sent to several federal authorities that led to the release of a thousand employees.

According to no law in the history of the universe, the authority has the authority to hire and dismiss employees of another authority, “said the judgment cited by the Washington Post.

“The congress has the authority to hire and dismiss employees, transfer the authorities themselves,” said the judge, according to the Federal Court in San Francisco. Among other things, he referred to the Pentagon. “The Ministry of Defense, for example, has the legal authority to hire and relieve employees,” said Alsup.

In one of the “Washington Post” there were unions and interest associations that the federal authority “commissioned the implementation of the labor laws of this nation”, had committed one of the “most massive employment fraud in the history of this country”. The authority for personnel management has “no constitutional, legal or regulatory authority” for the instructions of other federal authorities.

Since taking office in January, Trump has been driving the restructuring and reduction of federal authorities at a rapid pace. His advisor, the tech billionaire Elon Musk, plays a leading role with his government department for state efficiency (Doge). Tens of thousands of people are affected by the layoffs among the federal authorities.

Around 40 lawsuits have already been submitted against the layoffs and the renovation of the federal authorities and other projects of the Trump government. Among other things, the plaintiffs turn against the illegal order from their point of view that federal authorities have to dismiss all employees during the trial period.

However, Trump apparently relies on the legal disputes to ultimately be able to win his government agenda before the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court is conservatively dominated. Three of the nine judges there had been nominated by Trump during his first term (2017-21).
