The applicants – and the judge – in the case of external aid accused the government of Continuation of Stonewallingwhile the applicants in cases involving Suspension of the financing of the refugee program Accused that the administration does not fully comply with the court orders.

Here is a look at the whirlwind of legal evolutions last week.

The mass fires of “illegal” sample workers

A Federal Judge of California ordered OPM on Thursday to cancel a memory and agencies that tell by Email Escape from sample employees. Directions, communicated on a January 20 Memo And February 14 is an internal email, they are “illegal” and “should be stopped, canceled,” said Judge William Alsup.

“The personnel management office has no authority in any status in the history of the universe, to hire and dismiss employees within another agency” found that the judge. “He can hire his own employees, yes. Can pull them. But he cannot order or direct another agency to do this, ”Alsup said.

His decision did not reinstall the thousands of employees who were already dismissed, but came before the terminated terminations at the Defense Department, on Friday of the test employees – workers who have been in a job for less than two years.

“Death, poverty, disease and waste”

Tuesday a federal judge DC ordered the Government for the third time to comply with his February 13 Order Blocking a blanket of external aid by the State Department and the US Agency for International Development. The frustrated judge took a step further, ordering him to release the financing until midnight, after a lawyer for the justice department cannot tell him what steps they took to comply with his order.

The government then said for the first time in a deposit the next day that it will take “weeks” to dig up money and resorted to a group of three judges of the Court of Appeal of the Circuit DC for a stay. The Court of Appeal rejected the Government’s offer, and the government then appealed to the Supreme Court. Judge John Roberts issued a residence.

The applicants claim that these endings are illegal – and the delays have been catastrophic in more ways than one.

“There is no dispute that the actions of the defendants have led to death, poverty, disease and waste” from all over the world, they wrote and “do not address thousands of American jobs – and counting – which have been lost as a direct result of blanket freezing.”

The admission of “ancient” refugees

Whitehead said he would issue a written decision in the coming days, and on Thursday, the help groups that submitted the action said that the government is trying to avoid their imminent decision, formally deciding to conclude their refugee assistance contracts.

The government is sent to court in a separate, but similar case by the US Conference of Catholic bishops, who also seek an order of restriction. They say that the suspension has prevented the organization “from receiving the necessary funds to fulfill its mission to help the refugees that the Government has already placed in its care.”

On Thursday, the Government filed a “notification of changing material facts”, informing the judge that the USCCB contract was terminated, so that his request should now be considered a contractual dispute that should be heard in the Federal Court of Requests. Joseph Carilli, a government lawyer, doubled in this position at a hearing on Friday. “This evil is about money, they will refund. It’s about money, ”he said.

The organization said it was his mission and claimed that the judge should take action. “The government cannot escape the revision of its illegal suspension by performing an illegal cessation,” he said in a file.
