An executive order paves the way for Elon Musk to fire them from DOGE

January 23, 2025 by usatoday24

As soon as Trump was sworn in under the watchful eye of his new Praetorian Guard made up of the greatest fortunes in the worldgot to work signing the first decrees. One of the priority decrees was the official creation of DOGEhe Efficiency Department Government that will be directed by Elon Musk. The second, change the status of federal workers so that Musk can fire them at his discretion. Fire career officials. One of the most controversial points of the executive order that Donald Trump signed after his appointment is the change in status for career officials, in charge of enforcing regulations regardless of who occupies the Oval Office. To guarantee this independence, these officials had additional protection contemplated in Annex F (Schedule F). One of Trump’s executive orders mandates change this protected statusso they can now be fired if they do not comply with the orders of their superiors. This was one of the requirements of Project 2025 which has been developed by the most radical wing of the Republican Party, and which Trump has denied throughout the campaign, until just after his appointment. Only loyal officials. In another section of this executive order it is established that “Because SES officials exercise significant government authority, they must act at the will of the president”, placing special emphasis on that presidential figure, for which it has modified different sections of Annex F “Failure to do so will be grounds for dismissal,” the order states. Scott Michelman, legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union of the District of Columbia, assured from a statement issued by the organization that “The executive order on the federal workforce is a power grab by Trump, expanding his authority to fire employees he perceives as insufficiently loyal.” Michelman claims that, “during the last Trump administration, he encountered federal workers who were following the law, rather than indiscriminately following his orders. Federal workers should not be fired because they are more loyal to the US Constitution than to the president. That is a threat to both our constitutional values and the rule of law.” “The real goal of the order is to target workers based on their real or perceived disloyalty toward the president and his political goals,” Scott Michelman concludes. The excuse of efficiency. Another of the controversial points that complement this executive order is that all officials and the 2.3 million federal civilian employees must be evaluated for the efficiency of their work and, if it is not satisfactory, they could be fired. However, that same order prohibits “certain personnel actions” and “actions based on the employee’s partisan affiliation, other protected characteristics or due to the employee’s status as a whistleblower.” Everett Kelley, national president of the American Federation of Government Employees, declared to the cnn: “President Trump’s order is a blatant attempt to corrupt the federal government by removing employees’ due process rights so they can be fired for political reasons. It will eliminate hundreds of thousands of federal nonpartisan professional civil service jobs and make them responsible before the will of a man”. Closing of hiring and teleworking. Given the massive filtering that the entire US federal administration is going to face, the executive order signed by Trump hours after his appointment, indefinitely canceled any contracting process of the administration. Furthermore, the order signed by Trump urges all federal employees without exception to go to their offices, all being revoked teleworking agreements. The only exception would be that, as how it happened In some Amazon offices, the facilities did not have enough capacity to accommodate them all. In that case, it is anticipated that “provided department and agency heads make such exemptions as they deem necessary,” so they could send some officials back home. According to data provided by nearby sources to the new government, its calculations show that only 6% of public employees work from the offices of their agencies. However, a report prepared by the US Congress reveals that the figure is much higher, exceeding 54%, and only 10% of civil servants do it completely remotely.

The 22 states that sued the Trump administration over the executive order that wants to eliminate the right to birthright citizenship

January 22, 2025 by usatoday24

Image source, Reuters Item information Author, Drafting Author’s title, BBC News World 5 hours It is the first appeal in what will likely be a long legal fight over the immigration policy of the new Donald Trump administration. Attorneys general from 22 U.S. states filed lawsuits to block the executive order, signed by the president shortly after his inauguration on Monday, to end birthright citizenship. This is a centuries-old immigration practice that derives from the 14th amendment of the US Constitution, which guarantees that children born in the United States will be citizens regardless of the immigration status of their parents. Trump’s order, titled “Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship,” stipulates that the administration will no longer recognize automatic citizenship for children born on American soil to immigrant parents who are in the country illegally, as long as when neither parent is a US citizen or legal permanent resident. In his first term, Trump threatened to take similar measures, but did not carry them out. “It violates constitutional rights” The first lawsuit, filed in Massachusetts by a coalition of 18 states including New Jersey, New York and California, alleges that Trump’s executive order violates the constitutional rights of thousands of children. He adds that this “imposes undue costs” on local jurisdictions that would lose federal funding linked to children’s health insurance. Image source, EPA photo caption, Democratic attorneys general say Trump’s executive order violates the constitutional rights of thousands of children. The lawsuit accuses Trump of attempting to eliminate a “long-standing and well-established constitutional principle.” “The president has no authority to rewrite or repeal a constitutional amendment or a duly enacted law. Nor is he empowered by any other source of law to limit who receives U.S. citizenship at birth,” the lawsuit states. The District of Columbia and the city of San Francisco also joined this lawsuit. Another group of four states – Arizona, Oregon, Illinois and Washington – filed a separate lawsuit in Seattle. Several civil rights and legal organizations also filed legal challenges in New Hampshire and Massachusetts, “on behalf of parents whose children would be ineligible for citizenship” under Trump’s executive order. Democratic attorneys general and immigrant rights advocates say the issue of birthright citizenship is settled law and that while presidents have broad authority, they are “not kings.” “For more than 150 years, our country has followed the same basic rule: Babies born in this country are American citizens,” New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin said at a news conference Tuesday. “(Trump) has the right to enact policy that he believes is right for the country,” but “this is an extreme and unprecedented act,” Platkin said. “This is not just an attack on the law. It is an attack on the very essence of this nation.” “The presidents of this country have vast power. But they are not kings,” Platkin said. He added: “The president cannot, with the stroke of a pen, erase the 14th Amendment from existence. Period.” For her part, New York Attorney General Letitia James said that Trump’s measure “is not only unconstitutional, it is deeply dangerous.” Long legal battle Image source, Getty Images photo caption, Legal scholars point out that Trump cannot end birthright citizenship with an executive order. The series of legal challenges indicates that Trump’s effort will likely face a lengthy legal battle and could be stalled in court, preventing it from taking effect next month as planned. Most legal scholars agree that the president cannot end birthright citizenship with an executive order. “He is doing something that is going to upset a lot of people, but ultimately this will be decided by the courts,” Saikrishna Prakash, a constitutional expert and professor at the University of Virginia School of Law, told the BBC. “This is not something he can decide on his own.” But the White House has indicated it is ready to take on the states in court, calling the lawsuits “nothing more than an extension of the left’s resistance.” “Radical leftists can choose to swim against the tide and reject the overwhelming will of the people, or they can join in and work with President Trump,” said White House deputy press secretary Harrison Fields.
