This case challenges the Trump administration’s effort to cut the federal workforce and reorganize federal agencies without authorization from Congress.

On April 28, 2025, the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) and other labor unions, nonprofits, and local governments filed this lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. They sued President Trump, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), and more than 20 federal agencies and their heads. Represented by Democracy Forward, Protect Democracy, and private counsel, the plaintiffs sought declaratory relief, an injunction, and vacatur of the challenged actions. They claimed that Executive Order 14210, which directed agencies to carry out large-scale layoffs (called reductions in force) and reorganizations, and the memoranda implementing it violated the separation of powers and the Administrative Procedure Act (APA). The case was assigned to Judge Susan Illston.

On May 9, 2025, Judge Illston granted a 14-day temporary restraining order against further layoffs at many of the defendant agencies. 782 F.Supp.3d 1316. She rejected the argument that agencies acted on their own rather than at OMB’s direction and held that the plaintiffs were likely to show the President exceeded his authority by dismantling programs Congress created. The government appealed. On May 30, the Ninth Circuit denied a stay in a published opinion by Circuit Judge William A. Fletcher, joined by Circuit Judge Lucy H. Koh. It held that the claims did not have to go through the Civil Service Reform Act process and that no law gave the President authority for reorganizations of this scale 139 F.4th 1020. Circuit Judge Consuelo M. Callahan dissented. On July 8, the Supreme Court stayed the injunction because the executive order and memoranda directed agencies to act “consistent with applicable law.” It did not rule on the legality of the agencies’ individual layoff and reorganization plans, known as Agency RIF and Reorganization Plans (ARRPs). 145 S. Ct. 2635. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented.

On July 18, back in the district court, Judge Illston ordered the government to produce the ARRPs, ruling that the need for accurate fact-finding outweighed any privilege for internal deliberations. 791 F.Supp.3d 1065. On September 9, she dismissed the claims against DOGE without prejudice because it was named incorrectly and otherwise denied the motion to dismiss. 2025 WL 2614698. The plaintiffs amended their complaint on September 29. On September 19, the Ninth Circuit denied the government’s petition to block the production order and vacated the preliminary injunction, sending the case back to the district court. 2025 WL 2682152. It cited the Supreme Court’s stay, the Supreme Court’s decision in Trump v. CASA limiting nationwide injunctions, and the need to consider later government actions. The full court denied rehearing on January 5, 2026. 163 F.4th 1226.

On January 30, 2026, the plaintiffs filed a supplemental complaint adding claims about the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), its acting head, Karen Evans, and a new plaintiff, the American Foreign Service Association. They alleged that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) took over FEMA’s authority over its own staffing and ordered FEMA to cut its workforce roughly in half. The cuts began on January 1, 2026, when FEMA stopped renewing the terms of temporary employees called Cadre of On-Call Response/Recovery (CORE) employees. On February 10, the plaintiffs sought a temporary restraining order, which the court treated as a motion for a preliminary injunction. After a March 3 hearing at which the government’s lawyers gave an account that differed from Evans’s sworn declaration, the court ordered expedited discovery.

Over the next two months, the court issued a series of discovery orders as the government repeatedly reported only partial compliance. Documents and testimony showed that Evans sent DHS a staffing plan on December 4, 2025, that cut FEMA to about half its size. They also showed that officials used Signal chats set to delete messages automatically, and that Evans redacted her own planner notes by hand before producing them. On April 22, the court held that personal phones used for agency business were within the government’s control. It authorized depositions of former DHS Deputy Chief of Staff Joseph Guy and Kara Voorhies, who advised the DHS Secretary on FEMA. On April 30, Guy’s last day of federal employment, Guy reinstalled Signal on his phone and erased his messages, which included more than two dozen FEMA-related chats. On May 5, the court ordered 22 officials to turn off disappearing messages and preserve FEMA-related Signal messages from December 1, 2025 through March 6, 2026. On May 13, it denied Guy’s motion to quash his deposition subpoena, finding that he was a managing agent of the government. 833 F.Supp.3d 1047. His motion was filed as a separate related case, Guy v. AFGE (No. 26-mc-80146).

On June 26, the court denied the preliminary injunction because FEMA had offered new terms to the non-renewed employees and no blanket non-renewal policy remained in effect. 2026 WL 1848074. It treated the plaintiffs’ brief as a motion for partial summary judgment on the DHS and FEMA claims, denied the motion to dismiss the supplemental complaint, and overruled the government’s privilege objections to discovery on agency staffing plans. On September 2, the court denied the plaintiffs leave to add claims challenging a reorganization of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. It reasoned that those claims turned on separate 2026 funding laws and belonged in a separate lawsuit.

On September 11, the court issued two rulings. First, it granted the plaintiffs’ motion for sanctions for destroyed evidence under Rule 37(e). 2026 WL 2679500. It found that Evans deleted Signal messages, citing her use of auto-delete timers, her shortening of one timer after the court’s discovery orders, and her background as a former DHS chief information officer. Although it found Guy’s conduct highly suspect, it did not find intent. The court barred the government from offering hindsight testimony disputing the staffing plan, DHS’s direction of it, or its carrying out through the CORE non-renewals. It also ruled that the lost messages would be presumed unfavorable to the government and that the plaintiffs were entitled to attorneys’ fees. Second, it granted the plaintiffs partial summary judgment on their APA claims. 2026 WL 2677331. It held that DHS violated the Post-Katrina Emergency Management Reform Act by revoking FEMA’s authority to renew CORE employees and ordering the staffing cut. It also held that the January 2026 non-renewals violated a funding law barring layoffs, and that the actions were arbitrary and capricious. The court rejected the government’s judicial, standing, and mootness arguments but did not rule on the plaintiffs’ separate claims that the actions exceeded the government’s legal authority.

On October 8, the court approved a stipulation moving the parties’ joint statement on remaining relief and the plaintiffs’ fee application from October 9 to October 23 to allow discussion facilitated by Magistrate Judge Joseph C. Spero to continue. It also reset the case management conference to October 30.

This case is ongoing.
