U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani in Boston allowed the Trump administration to proceed with firing nearly every employee at the Community Relations Service, the DOJ's race-relations agency. Here's what to know: |
- Talwani declined at this early stage in the case to issue a temporary restraining order sought by civil rights groups that would bar the DOJ from terminating 14 of the Community Relations Service's 15 remaining employees on Friday. Read the order.
- An Obama appointee, Talwani said the 11 plaintiff organizations failed to show they would be irreparably harmed by the job cuts or explain how they would impact services they currently need.
- At a Wednesday hearing, she noted that the affected employees even if they remained on staff after Friday would be furloughed as a result of the government shutdown that began October 1.
- The ruling could prove to be only a temporary loss for the plaintiffs, as Talwani signaled they were likely to ultimately prove the job cuts were part of an effort to unlawfully dissolve the Community Relations Service. Find out more.
- Talwani is also presiding over a case involving SNAP food aid benefits and is expected to rule soon.
