Illston issued a temporary restraining order pausing further implementation of Trump’s Feb. 11 executive order directing agencies to begin major reorganizations, as well as subsequent memos from his administration instructing agencies how to comply. Her order applies to 20 federal agencies, including the Departments of State, Treasury and Veterans Affairs, and the Department of Government Efficiency.

The order is in effect for 14 days, through May 23. Temporary restraining orders cannot be appealed, but the government is expected to appeal any injunction the judge could issue later on.

During Friday’s hearing, Illston said a temporary restraining order was necessary “to protect the power of the legislative branch.”
