A judge slows its shift plan for public employees
New Judicial Varapalo for Donald Trump. A Federal Judge of Massachusetts has temporarily ordered to pause the deadline that US officials had to decide whether they accepted the Trump administration offer to renounce their job in exchange for compensation.
The countdown to decide whether they accepted the supply of incentive low, which included six months paid until September, ended this Thursday at midnight.
The workers had been informed of the offer last week, having only nine days to make a decision on a proposal on which it is not yet clear that the government really has the authority to apply it. During these days, officials had received constant pressures in the form of emails to accept the offer under risk of being fired later.
The Trump administration offer is a parallel movement to the cuts that Elon Musk is leading within the federal agencies and intended to pave the path to his right hand. Downloading an official is not so easy, so if the employees accepted the offer, Musk and his work group Doge would save months of legal confrontations.
Three unions that represent more than 800,000 federal workers filed a lawsuit on Tuesday asking for a temporary restriction order to stop the term of the proposal, qualifying the “arbitrary ultimatum offer, illegal and with a short term”.
Finally, a few hours before the discount time ended, the judge has stopped the proposal and scheduled a new hearing for next Monday at 14:00.
According to him Washington Postmore than 400,000 officials had already accepted Trump's offer on Wednesday afternoon. The pressure in recent days had been increasing while the drip continued with a similar offer for CIA workers.
The new director of the Central Intelligence Agency, John Ratcliffe, offered his employees eight months of salary in exchange for his resignation, emulating Trump's proposal. The theoretically an independent agency to the Government, but still the president's new election is applying the same tactics to purge the workforce.
New Judicial Varapal
There are already several Trump administration measures that have been stopped by justice. One of them has been the executive order to end citizens by the birth of the children of undocumented immigrants. A federal judge of Maryland issued a preliminary order on Wednesday that paralyzes the decree after an hearing with five pregnant women without papers.
According to the ruling, Trump's executive order violates the amendment 14 of the Constitution and affirms that denying “the precious right to citizens will cause irreparable damage” to the country. The judge's order has application at the national level and is more permanent than that of temporary restriction issued on January 23 by another federal judge, of Seattle, who also considered 'unconstitutional' the executive order of Trump.
Also, just a few days ago, last Friday, a second federal judge temporarily blocked the freezing of all federal subsidies and loans from the Trump Republican government, which decided to rescind the measure after a previous veto of another magistrate.
