📖 Narrative

"Ester Murdukhayeva, deputy solicitor general at the New York attorney general’s office, argued that the Trump administration had essentially closed the agencies based on how much the size of the agencies had been reduced, urging the panel to uphold the lower court’s ruling. “The uncontested record in this case shows that defendants functionally shut down three congressionally created agencies by indiscriminately firing all or nearly all of their staff and ceasing to provide programs and services,” Murdukhayeva told the panel, adding that the 1st Circuit has ruled against the administration in similar cases regarding sweeping executive orders."
