A coalition of labor unions, nonprofits, and local governments, including Chicago and Baltimore, are legally challenging President Trump's overhaul of the federal workforce. They claim that his actions to downsize the workforce violate the Constitution as they lack Congressional authorization. The lawsuit highlights directives from Trump and Elon Musk's efficiency team, which allegedly led to mass job eliminations. The case builds on a prior legal victory where a judge found that OPM illegally directed agencies to terminate probationary employees. The new complaint asserts that Trump's executive order usurps Congress' authority.
"Three months into this Administration, there can be no real doubt that impacted federal agencies are acting according to the direction being given by President Trump through DOGE, OMB, and OPM."
"Over and over, newly appointed agency heads have explained that they are reorganizing, eliminating programs, and cutting thousands upon thousands of jobs, because the President directed them to and because DOGE told them how much and what to cut."
