U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols, appointed by Trump
You can’t shred electronic records. I bet there are copies on a government server somewhere.
Not to worry folks. They don't appear to be related. Close enough for government work as Dad always told me.
Is there still a DOJ and FBI? This sounds illegal.
American Foreign Service Association, et al. v. Trump, no. 25-352 (D.D.C.)
On February 7, 2025, in a case involving the shutdown of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), Nichols issued a temporary restraining order that blocked the government from putting 2,200 USAID employees on administrative leave as was planned to happen by midnight that evening, reinstating 500 USAID employees who had already been placed on administrative leave, and pausing an order that recalled USAID employees posted overseas to the United States. Judge Nichols’ order is valid until 11:59 p.m. on Friday, February 14.

Secretary Rubio needs to order everything be preserved. Then find out who gave this order and fire them.

The documents are printed copies of files. IF the files are not destroyed burning the paper is useless. Also, there will be a ledger with the document name, type, assigned number and brief contents. It will say who has copies. The destruction of the copies must be witnessed, and they need to be struck from the register. Failure to follow procedures can result in prison sentences. Anyone doing this is an absolute idiot. Everyone who destroys a document had damned well better get a document receipt stating it was turned in and destroyed. Because the penalties were so severe, I kept my receipts for fifteen years.
Isn’t it illegal to destroy classified docs? Who declassified them for destruction? I don’t believe this judge has such authority. And they complain about Trump abusing his authority!
This is an Executive Branch agency. Kick them out and change the locks! You don’t need the courts to help!
We have rule by power-happy left-wing judges. Sigh.
Why are judges suddenly running the country?
Just send in some federal marshalls and stop the shredding.
The judge knows this how, oh the criminals told the judge. All of these judges need DOGE’d
Judges always like it when you destroy evidence ... right?
I look forward to the day when our country formally recognizes these people are not actually judges.
Can Supreme Court censure a Fed Court judge?
The WEAKNESS and INCOMPETENCE AND COWARDICE of this and any repugnic-nt administration is INFURIATING.
GO IN THERE AND CAVE IN THE SKULLS OF THE LITTLE SH-TDICKS SGREDDING THE DOCUMENTS. Or at least arrest them.
What is WRONG with these pussies?
Face it all these judges that get in Trump’s way are part of the DEEP STATE
If these documents actually required preservation, the Administration would order them preserved. Secretary Rubio would take steps to see that it is done. He doesn't need any Court order, USAID has been placed under his authority.
Please correct me if I am mistaken.
Why can’t Rubio simple reassign these USAID clowns (in more ways than one) to some other office space without access to their regular systems?
this sounds good to me, clean out the debris as they dismantle or minimize the offices.
