Judge blocks Trump administration plan to fire CIA & ODNI employees working on DEI issues. Judge Anthony Trenga (GWBush appointee) says workers have internal appeal rights & can compete for other posts

A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration’s bid to fire intelligence agency employees who recently worked on DEI programs.

U.S. District Judge Anthony Trenga issued a preliminary injunction Monday requiring that the affected staffers at the CIA and Office of Director of National Intelligence remain on the payroll while they appeal their terminations and seek reassignment to open positions at their agencies.

Ruling from the bench in his courtroom in Alexandria, Virginia, Trenga said CIA Director John Ratcliffe had made clear that the employees, who faced a 5 p.m. deadline Monday to resign or be fired, were being dismissed under a “reduction in force” and that gave the employees certain protections.

“The plaintiffs face termination without any suggestion of wrongdoing or poor performance,” said Trenga, an appointee of President George W. Bush. “Simply requiring the government to follow its regulations is a minimal burden.”
