The decision comes after #VeteransAffairs Secy Douglas A. Collins, under political pressure from #Congress, backed away from a plan to slash 15% of the agency’s workforce through #MassFirings. Instead, the #VA lost almost 30k employees this year from buyout offers & attrition.
The agency hopes that the cuts will reduce the #healthcare workforce to as little as 372k employees, a 10% reduction from last year, acc/to a memo shared with regional leaders last month…. -
Illston has said she believes the evidence will ultimately show the #MassFirings were #illegal & in excess of authority.
The #Trump admin has slashed #jobs in #education, #health & other areas it says are favored by #Democrats. The admin has also said it will not tap roughly $5 billion in contingency funds to keep benefits through #SNAP flowing into November.

A spox for the #OMB said the reductions are “substantial” but did not offer more immediate details.
The #Education Dept is among the agencies hit by new #layoffs, a dept spox said Friday without providing more details. The dept had ~4,100 employees when #Trump took office in January, but its workforce was nearly halved amid #MassFirings in the admin’s first months. At the start of the shutdown, it had ~2,500 employees.

District-court judges have repeatedly used #NationwideInjunctions to block #Trump admin policies, including to halt the #MassFirings of civil servants, the defunding of #ForeignAid & the relocation of #transgender women in #FederalPrisons to men’s housing. Some of those injunctions have been lifted by higher courts; many, including those detailed below, remain in place, …for now.

Judge #AmyBermanJackson said she is “deeply concerned” that #Trump admin ofcls aren’t complying with her earlier order that maintains the #CFPB’s existence until she rules on the merits of a lawsuit seeking to preserve it.
During the hearing, Jackson said she will bar ofcls from any #MassFirings or cutting off employees’ access to bureau computer systems.
Jackson scheduled a hearing on April 28 to hear testimony from ofcls who were working on the reduction in force, or #RIF, procedures.

Appeals court allows #Trump admin to temporarily remove #watchdog lawyer #HamptonDellinger
A federal appeals court on Wed allowed Trump to temporarily remove the head of an #independent watchdog agency who was investigating the admin’s #MassFirings of probationary #FederalWorkers.
In a 2-pg order, the court granted the Trump admin’s request to stay a lower court ruling that blocked Trump from summarily firing #Dellinger, head of the Office of #SpecialCounsel.

#Trump has also tried to remove more than a dozen #InspectorsGeneral, as well as members of the National #Labor Relations Board [#NLRB] & the #Equal Employment Opportunity Commission [#EEOC]. Many of the ousted ofcls are contesting their removals in court.
In addition to fighting his own ouster, Dellinger has been arguing that the admin’s #MassFirings of probationary #FederalWorkers is illegal.#law #NationalSecurity #authoritarianism #autocracy #democracy #SeparationOfPowers

Another fired employee said the hundreds of dismissals meant that the #aid agency now had only a skeleton crew to respond to #humanitarian crises.
The appointee running day-to-day operations at #USAID is #PeteMarocco, a #State Dept official overseeing foreign aid who was a #divisive figure at the agency & other government departments in the first #Trump administration. Early this month, #MarcoRubio announced he was taking over the aid agency as acting administrator.

A federal judge in Washington gave #Trump a victory *for now* when she declined on Tues to bar #ElonMusk & his associates from having access to data at 7 #FederalAgencies or involvement in #MassFirings.
In an order on Tues, Judge Tanya S. #Chutkan, wrote that a coalition of 14 state AGs had failed in seeking an emergency halt to show specific examples of how #Musk’s team’s sweeping data collection efforts could cause those states imminent or irreparable harm.
