The Supreme Court interrupts the judge’s order to reintegrate federal probation workers

Washington – The Supreme Court interrupted on Tuesday the decision of a federal judge demanding that several federal agencies reintegrate around 16,000 workers that the Trump administration had sought to fire.

The decision to grant the request from the administration means that the federal government does not have to take action to bring back certain workers who have been dismissed while the dispute advances before a federal judge in California.

Judges Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson, two of the Liberal Judges of the Court, noted that they dissident from the unsigned decision.

The ordinance said that certain non -profit groups which continued not having a legal position to put pressure on their complaints.

To complicate the questions, a Maryland judge made a similar decision that applies to the same agencies in question in the Californian case as well as others. This decision, which requires that the employees assigned in 19 states and the Columbia district be kept on paid administrative leave while the dispute continues, remains in place.

The agencies affected in the California case are the departments of veterans, defense, energy, interior, agriculture and treasure.

The Trump administration, in an initiative led by Elon Musk and its Ministry of Effectiveness of the Government, sought to considerably reduce the number of federal employees, causing a fierce legal struggle.

The American district judge based in California, William Alsup, said they should be reintegrated because the process used was legally imperfect.

The Trump administration argued that ALSUP did not have the power to restore workers and aggravated the problem by microching the process. Lawyers also argued that the various unions, including the US Federation of Government employees, and other groups that pursued had no direct participation in the layoffs.

The decision of the Supreme Court only replied the complaints made by non -profit groups, because it is what Alsup’s decision was founded on. Syndicat’s complaints could still lead to new legal action.

No individual federal employees are involved in the trial.

Alsup’s decision “violates the separation of powers, arrogant in one district court the management powers of the executive personnel for the most fragile and more trying reasons,” said Sarah Harris, a general request to the action, in court documents.

“It’s not a way to manage a government,” she added.

Harris said that the Maryland affair is different because the judge, James Bredar, had only demanded that the workers be put on administrative leave and did not order that they be entirely on board. Bredar’s case is also at a previous stage of the legal process, which means that its decision is only provisional.

Harris noted that the Ministry of Agriculture is also subject to a decision issued by the Merit System Protection Board, a federal agency created to protect federal workers, which required that thousands of workers be reintegrated.

The lawyers for adversaries stressed in court documents that the government had already declared in a different file that it had been “respected” from the reintegration order, reducing the need for the Supreme Court to intervene.
