Judges nationwide criticize Trump administration's misleading claims

news.yahoo.com

Several U.S. judges criticized the Trump administration this week for misleading claims and selective data in legal cases regarding government changes. They expressed concerns about the administration's lack of transparency and the validity of its arguments. U.S. District Judge William Alsup ordered the reinstatement of thousands of federal workers, stating the administration's reasons for their termination were false. Other judges echoed similar sentiments, questioning the government's claims about employee reviews and data used to support policy decisions. In a separate case, Judge Amir Ali ruled that Trump could not freeze foreign aid funds without a valid rationale. The administration's arguments were deemed insufficient, although it retains discretion over how to allocate appropriated funds.
