 May 29, 2025 | LEGAL | In a major victory for federal workers and the American people they serve, a judge last week granted a preliminary injunction ruling that President Trump cannot implement mass layoffs of federal workers without the approval of Congress which created these agencies. “Presidents may set policy priorities for the executive branch, and agency heads may implement them. This much is undisputed,” said Judge Susan Illston for the Northern District of California in her May 22 decision. “But Congress creates federal agencies, funds them, and gives them duties… and a President may not initiate large-scale executive branch reorganization without partnering with Congress.” AFGE
