American Federation Of Government Employees, AFL-CIO, et al. v. Trump, et al. (AFGE injunction, 9th Cir. 25-3293)

No. 25-3293 Circuit · Active Active

Case Overview

The government appealed Judge Illston's preliminary injunction which prevents the government from enacting large scale reductions in force across the executive branch.


The Application

History

Judge Illston found that AFGE members demonstrated sufficient likelihood of success on their statutory claims regarding RIF procedures and irreparable harm from job loss, granting the preliminary injunction. The government appealed, arguing the district court exceeded its authority in restricting executive personnel decisions and that any procedural violations were remediable.

The Conclusion

The case is active on appeal in the Ninth Circuit. The preliminary injunction prevents large-scale RIFs pending the appellate court's determination of whether Judge Illston abused her discretion or properly protected federal employees' statutory rights.
