Donald Trump administration can continue dramatic downsizing of federal workforce, rules US judge
Live MintIn a big win for United States President Donald Trump, a US District court on Thursday ruled that his administration can continue mass firings of federal employees for now. US District Judge Christopher Cooper in Washington, D.C. said he doesn’t have the power to decide whether firing tens of thousands of government workers is lawful. Donald Trump’s mass firing spree caused ‘disruption and chaos’ While announcing the decision, Cooper observed that Donald Trump’s mass firing spree and other executive actions have caused “disruption and even chaos in widespread quarters of American society”. Expressing disappointment over the US court’s decision, Doreen Greenwald, president of the National Treasury Employees Union, said, “There is no doubt that the administration’s actions are an illegal end-run on Congress, which has the sole power to create and oversee federal agencies and their important missions.” Over 6,000 IRS employees fear termination As the Donald Trump administration continues to execute its plan for large-scale force reductions, the US Internal Revenue Service may witness the termination of over 6,000 employees, USA Today reported, citing a senior staffer.
