A federal judge in California on Tuesday temporarily blocked the Trump administration from spending congressionally appropriated money to carry out a broad reorganization of the U.S. Department of Agriculture that would move thousands of employees. U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria of the Northern District of California barred USDA from using the funds for costs tied to the restructuring, including moving expenses and building closures. The order is a setback for Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins and a win for federal employee unions that challenged the plan in court earlier this year. The ruling applies to the Forest Service, Food and Nutrition Administration, Agricultural Research Service, Foreign Agricultural Service and Rural Development, as well as USDA’s Office of the General Counsel and Office of the Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights. It also covers the department’s Research, Education and Economics and Farm Production and Conservation mission areas. The pause may be temporary. Chhabria noted that the appropriations laws relevant to the case are set to expire in less than two months. The order does not prevent USDA from pursuing the reorganization after that point if Congress supports the plan. The American Federation of Government Employees and the AFL-CIO sued the administration over the changes. The restructuring would affect staff responsible for a range of federal services, including nutrition programs, forestry, agricultural research and farm services.
