A coalition of unions, cities, and nonprofits has initiated several lawsuits against the Trump administration, arguing that recent workforce cuts and a government reorganization spearheaded by Trump and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) are unconstitutional. Key players in these lawsuits include Harris County, San Francisco, and Chicago, all of which fear that potential job losses will jeopardize public safety and hurricane preparedness. The lawsuits emphasize the need for congressional approval before any significant changes to the federal workforce can be implemented. Local leaders express concern about the long-term impacts of these cuts on essential services and federal employee job security.
