A federal judge on Monday blocked the Trump Administration from firing intel agency officials who worked on DEI programs.
US District Judge Anthony Trenga, a George W. Bush appointee, said the fired officials are entitled to appeal the firings and seek reassignment for other jobs in the agency.
Last month Judge Trenga rejected a bid to block the Trump Admin from firing the 19 intelligence officials.
“In effect, they are at-will employees,” Judge Trenga said last month during a hearing, according to Politico.
.... Snip....
Reuters reported:
A U.S. judge on Monday blocked the firing of 19 intelligence officers who had worked on diversity, equality, inclusion and accessibility programs that President Donald Trump ordered eliminated, according to their attorney.
Kevin Carroll, who represents the Central Intelligence Agency and Office of the Director of National Intelligence employees, said that Judge Anthony Trenga of the Eastern District of Virginia ruled the officers have the right to appeal their terminations to CIA Director John Ratcliffe or Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. The judge also ruled that they have the right to be considered for other jobs in the intelligence community, Carroll said.

His last name is Trenga!
Ignore this one, too.

Fine. Reassign them to cleaning the toilets.
in northern Alaska
Trump and the boys need to start countersuing these POS and make them prove they have the authority to block these orders. The piggies don’t have the authority. Sue them until they prove it.
Yup—intelligence folks are in every country in Africa.
Send them somewhere deep in the jungle—with no comms.
Bye bye!

Eat me to it.
“Sue them until they prove it.”
Interesting legal concept. Most of these activist judgez will fold like a wet piece of cardboard when they start getting the legal fees.
Using the courts is a very expensive way to have an argument.
Send them to point barrow Alaska
“the officers have the right to appeal their terminations to CIA Director John Ratcliffe or Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.”
You’re still fired.
at the department of island balance in Guam.
Doesn’t read like a win. Right to appeal to officials who will say no? Right to apply for another federal job?
IGNORE THEM AND MOVE ON
I’m starting to think he is ignoring them he’s just not making a big deal out of it. They sent more Venezuelans packing the other day.
Yes. Cleaning toilets in Monahans, Texas, for the border patrol guy there.
They can always appeal the firing, but they are still fired
Well, they could always assign them to Somalia or Uganda
Fine. They can appeal, rejected, and you’re still fired.
I agree. At this point Trump complaining is useless. We know the truth. Just ignore these judges.
However, I’m waiting for one of these judges to charge a DOJ lawyer with contempt and then try to have bailiff arrest them.
