Yesterday, a Temporary Restraining Order was issued by Judge Susan Illston in San Francisco. This order halts the Trump administration's firings of federal workers, following a lawsuit filed by a coalition of cities, counties, union organizations, and non-profit groups. The action is described as the "broadest effort yet to halt the Trump administration’s overhaul of the federal government."
Mayor Brandon Johnson responded to this development with a statement expressing satisfaction with the court's decision. He said, "We are pleased with the U.S. District Court's ruling, temporarily restraining President Trump's administration from reorganizing our government in a way that sows chaos and division." Mayor Johnson emphasized Chicago's support for working people and opposition to federal policies perceived as harmful.
The mayor also expressed gratitude towards other cities and labor unions involved in filing the lawsuit alongside Chicago. He stated, "I am grateful to the cities and labor unions across the nation that took this stand and filed suit with Chicago; our continued unity is going to be vital as we work to preserve our democracy and invest in our communities."
