Eight general inspectors offered abruptly by the president Donald Trump At the beginning of his second term, he appeared in the Federal Court on Thursday to challenge his layoffs, a long shooting case that, however, caused fireworks during oral arguments.
The United States District Judge, Ana Reyes, acknowledged Thursday that it would be difficult for the Court to restore the eight general expelled inspectors, who were part of a broader group of 17 government vigilant dogs abruptly finished by Trump in January, only four days in his second mandate in the White House.
In a lawsuit last month, the eight general inspectors challenged their shots as “illegal and unjustified” and asked to be reinstated, a remedy that Reyes recognized on Thursday would be extremely difficult, even if he discovered that his shootings were unconstitutional.
“Unless you convince me otherwise,” he told the plaintiffs: “I don’t see how I could restore the general inspectors,”

Reyes suggested that the best that the court could do would be to order the subsequent payment, even when she told both parties: “I do not think that anyone can dispute that the elimination of these people, the way they were fired, was a violation of the law.”
The preliminary court hearing occurs more than a month after the eight dismissed general inspectors filed a lawsuit that challenged their termination as unconstitutional. The plaintiffs asked the judge to restore them to their positions, pointing out in the presentation: “The attempt of President Trump to eliminate a crucial and long data of impartial and non -partisan supervision of his administration is contrary to the rule of law.”
Even so, the remedies are considered a remote possibility, and Trump supporters have argued that the president was within his executive branch to make personnel decisions under article II of the Constitution, precedents of the Supreme Court and updates of the federal policy.

In 2022, Congress He updated his general inspector law of 1978which previously required a president to communicate to Congress any “reason” for the endings 30 days before a decision was made. This notification provision was modified in 2022 to require only a “substantive justification, including detailed and specific cases of cases” for terminations.
The 30 -day period was an important focus of the hearing on Thursday, since the Court weighs whether the general inspectors can be considered “main” or lower official.
The director of presidential staff of the White House has affirmed that the dismissals are in line with that requirement, which was a reflection of “changing priorities” from the administration.
The president of the Judicial Committee of the Senate, Chuck Grassley, Republican of Iowa, suggested earlier this year that Congress should receive more information about the reasons for layoffs, although more recently he has refused to explain the matter.

Reyes, meanwhile, did not seem to be transferred by the offer of emergency relief plaintiffs.
She refused to grant her previous application of a temporary restriction order, a difficult legal evidence that requires the plaintiffs to prove the “irreparable” and immediate damage as a result of the actions, and told both parties during the hearing that, except for new or revealing information, is not inclined to govern in favor of the plaintiffs in the hearing of larger preliminary injuries.
