Recent off a win in court docket final week in opposition to the Trump administration, Santa Clara County and San Francisco are becoming a member of a nationwide coalition in a brand new lawsuit in opposition to the federal authorities — this time taking goal at Elon Musk’s Division of Authorities Effectivity.

The lawsuit, which was filed on Monday in the USA District Court docket for the Northern District of California, challenges President Donald Trump’s “critical transformation of the federal bureaucracy,” which he specified by a Feb. 11 govt order. The order gave new steerage for DOGE, tasking federal companies to work with the Musk-led initiative to scale back the dimensions of the federal workforce and restrict hiring.

However the coalition, which incorporates unions, nonprofits and a number of other different native governments, says what Trump is doing is unconstitutional.

“The president does not possess authority to reorganize, downsize or otherwise transform the agencies of the federal government, unless and until Congress authorizes such action,” the lawsuit reads.

9 presidents — starting from Herbert Hoover to Ronald Reagan — have been granted reorganization authority by Congress to create or reshape federal companies. It was utilized by Franklin Roosevelt in 1933 to consolidate all nationwide parks and monuments into the Nationwide Park System and by Richard Nixon in 1970 to ascertain the Nationwide Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration throughout the Division of Commerce.

Trump has enlisted DOGE, together with the Workplace of Administration and Finances and the Workplace of Personnel Administration, “to serve his goals of radical transformation,” and mandate different companies to create plans to reorganize and scale back their workforce, the lawsuit mentioned.

These plans are already taking form. The Division of Well being and Human Companies introduced final month {that a} “dramatic restructuring” would save taxpayers $1.8 billion per 12 months by shedding 10,000 workers — a lot of whom have been employed by the Meals and Drug Administration, the Facilities for Illness Management and Prevention and the Nationwide Institutes of Well being. The Small Enterprise Administration can also be anticipated to scale back its workforce by 43% and the Division of Labor has already put some workers on administrative go away, in line with Bloomberg Legislation.

DOGE claims that it has saved taxpayers $160 billion, however a brand new evaluation from the nonprofit Partnership for Public Service estimates that placing workers on paid go away and rehiring federal staff who have been mistakenly fired will price $135 billion.

Whereas a few of the coalition consists of labor unions representing federal staff and nonprofits with nationwide pursuits, the six native governments — Santa Clara County, San Francisco, King County, Washington; Harris County, Texas; Chicago and Baltimore — argue that Trump’s actions will trigger them “ongoing harm” as a consequence of “delays and reductions in services provided by the federal agencies on which they rely.”

A kind of companies is NOAA. Earlier this 12 months, a whole bunch of workers, together with climate forecasters, that have been on probationary standing have been fired. NOAA can also be anticipated to fall prey to huge price range cuts later this 12 months. Within the lawsuit, the coalition argues that lots of the native governments depend on NOAA for forecasting, modeling and different real-time climate knowledge that in some circumstances assist them put together for an emergency.

Over the previous few months, Santa Clara County and San Francisco have been locked in a authorized battle with the Trump administration. Final week, a federal choose issued a preliminary injunction in opposition to Trump, successfully blocking him from withholding federal funds from jurisdictions which have declared themselves as “sanctuaries” for immigrants dwelling within the nation illegally. Santa Clara County and San Francisco have additionally filed separate lawsuits round Trump’s govt order to finish birthright citizenship.
