U.S. judge will block hundreds of Trump administration layoffs

A federal judge on Wednesday said she would block President Donald Trump’s administration from laying off hundreds of federal employees, the latest legal setback for Trump’s efforts to downsize the U.S. government workforce. U.S. District Judge Susan Illston during a hearing in San Francisco said hundreds of layoffs at four agencies were likely not allowed under a law Congress passed last month to end a 43-day government shutdown.
