Judge Anthony J. Trenga, an appointee of George W. Bush, has temporarily blocked President Trump’s move to clean house in the intelligence community—specifically targeting agents involved in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives that have compromised national security in favor of leftist ideology.
This ruling comes after a group of anonymous intelligence officers, who had been temporarily reassigned to roles implementing controversial Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) programs, have filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) and the CIA.
The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, names ODNI, the CIA, and their respective heads—Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe—as defendants.

Either through congressional legislation or through the Supreme Court, we need a sweeping assertion that low level judges simply cannot issue injunctions against the Executive Branch.
Why even have a POTUS then? Just let Judges run the country as capriciously as they see fit?.....................
Another UNELECTED Feral stooge that needs to get his ass back in his lane.
We have a serious national security problem with our science stations on Antarctica—and we need the CIA there in force to protect our national interest. They can search for Russkie moles and stuff. (Rumor is the penguins are actually Russian robots in disguise.)
I just found some voluntolds.
Lol.
So a Bushie judge just ordered that the CIA needs to keep its trannies. We are Sodom and Gammorah.
From BRAVE AI:
MISSISSIPPI V. JOHNSON, 1867
In the 1867 case Mississippi v. Johnson, the Supreme Court ruled that the President cannot be sued for carrying out his duties. This was the first time a state sued a US President in the Supreme Court.
Background:
The case involved the Reconstruction Acts of 1867, which established military rule in the Southern states.
The acts were intended to protect rights, suppress violence, and re-establish state governments loyal to the Union.
Andrew Johnson, a Southerner from Tennessee, vetoed the legislation, but Congress overrode him.
The Court’s decision:
The court ruled [unanimously] that the President was acting in a discretionary capacity when enforcing the Reconstruction Acts, and therefore could not be sued.
The court noted that the President’s duties under the Reconstruction Acts were not ministerial, and that the judiciary would not be able to enforce an injunction against him.
Significance:
The decision established that the President has discretionary duties that he can choose to do or not to do, and that he cannot be sued for those actions.
“We are Sodom and Gammorah.”
No we’re not. They are.
Let’s use our language carefully: “Strike down” is legal slang used to refer,
Among other things, to a court issuing a permanent injunction after a finding that an action is unconstitutional or otherwise unlawful. All of these are temporary restraining orders. The next step is preliminary injunction, then permanent injunction after trial. Nothing has been “struck down” yet in any of the six dozen or so cases.
And for those bewailing the lack of action by SCOTUS: temporary restraining orders are no appealable; preliminary injunctions are.
Just re-allocate them to a cia facility in Yemen, or Mali..
ignore like the demonrats did.
Judicial insurrection.
As I see it, this is like a state having segregated schools in 2025. Blacks get the bad schools, whites get the good schools. What's that? Brown v Board of Education? The Supreme Court says segregation isn't OK? Well ... Let's not care. Let's work through the lower courts and slowly push this issue up the chain until sometime in 2028 the Supreme Court can reaffirm Brown v Board of Education. And you know what we can do in 2029? We can start all over again in the lower courts and push the issue of segregation up to the Supreme Court for the third time.
There ought to be a way to squash this crap right at the start. But unfortunately Trump is fighting a thousands battles on an issue that was decided in 1867. It's endless and it shouldn't be.
Assign the DEI officers to duty in Uzbekistan, Mongolia, or the Democratic Republic of Congo for file maintenance.
Yes. This is one of my big frustrations. I feel like it’s been decided. The Supreme Court ruled on this in 1867, so why does Trump have to jump through hoops today?
Modern, leftist, activist judges aren’t even referencing chapter and verse of the constitution for their “rulings”. They know they can just delay through appeals process. All part of the resistance. If I were Trump, or anyone, I’d think about rejecting court opinions that don’t reference the chapter and verse of the constitution that drove their decision.
Just us works with remarkable speediness sometimes..
Remarkable how slow Justice seems move to move.
Sometimes years .

Does not pass the Constitutional ‘null and void’ smell test...no authority.
So ignore them.
They have no authority here, !!! letting them assert authority is what gives it too them !!!
Until such clear violations of power separation is ignored this will just continue.
Maybe a higher court must certify too(?)...but blatant attempts to run the executive branch from the bench is a clear violation of power separation. If it is that clear, it should just be considered ‘null and void’. We can’t have these judges dictating executive power.
It’s no different than if a judge ordered ‘black people’ in government to be fired. It is ‘null and void’, to be ignored as it is a clear violation of the Constitution and separation of powers. Otherwise you’re ‘just following orders’ and making the executive branch subservient to the judicial branch.
Can you imagine if they allowed this on war time operations? What would be the difference? Clearly judges can’t dictate war operations, it’d grind the military to a halt.
