Judge extends order preventing Trump administration from firing federal workers during shutdown
A federal judge in San Francisco has issued an indefinite ban on the Trump administration from firing federal employees during the government shutdown. Judge Susan Illston granted a preliminary injunction to prevent the job cuts while a lawsuit challenging them proceeds. The judge, nominated by Democratic President Bill Clinton, believes the firings were illegal and exceeded authority. The administration has cut jobs in areas favored by Democrats and has not used contingency funds to maintain benefits for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. This decision will protect federal workers and ensure essential services continue during the shutdown.
