Other lawsuit was thrown on lint resulting from reducing the size of the federal bureaucracy designed by President Donald Trump and holding the budget appointed, Elon Musk.
Chicago joins an alliance of unions and a handful of cities and other provinces in California, Tixas and Washington to file a federal lawsuit mainly seeking to preserve the functions of federal employees targeted by the Ministry of Government Efficiency led by musk.
The lawsuit was submitted late on Monday at the Federal Provincial Court in San Francisco, and the case of 115 pages mainly says that Congress alone has the power to “dismantle, reduce size or convert”.
The Trump administration is accused of bypassing presidential power and violating the separation of powers that give Congress the final power of the federal budget and federal spending.
“The attempt to dismantle the basic government's jobs” to Trump represents an “unprecedented transgression” “that actually disrupts the basic city services.”
A press release in the city hall, which announces the latest in the ice collapse of legal challenges, points to a few examples.
Includes allegations:
Trump's decision to cancel the national weather service “stripping Chicago from effective weather data”, it needs to respond to harsh weather events and “safely planning external events on a large scale, such as Lolarosa and Naskar Street race.
The discounts in Fema will “strongly limit relief in disasters” that Chicago depends after the announcement of government and federal disasters, such as huge floods a few years ago that destroyed the western side.
The completion of the Environmental Protection Agency would exist Chicago's ability to process the Brownfield and Superfund sites, and other polluted sites concentrated in black and Latin societies.
The discounts to the US Department of Health and Humanitarian Services “have already threatened” the city's ability to “track and respond to health crises by reducing or eliminating national data collection projects.” These discounts “limit access to federal infectious diseases”, Chicago's Public Health Ministry needs to make “time sensitive decisions” to allocate the city's limited resources.
“These measures threaten public safety and critical services on which our residents depend,” Richardson Lerry was quoted as saying. “This lawsuit aims to maintain federal protection and ensure Chicago continues to obtain the support they need.”
Johnson has become very bending in his opposition to Trump, partly because he plays well in the intense Democratic Chicago.
Former municipal mayors, Ram Emmanuel and Lori Light Foot, used the same calculation of political differentiation and integration to make a continuous battle with Trump during his first term at the White House.
Earlier this month, Johnson described Trump's threats to “terrorism” with Trump's threats to block billions in federal financing from resort cities and cut financing to educational areas in Chicago and other major cities that adhere to the diversity of policies, shares and inclusion.
A press release in the city hall quoted the lawsuit, which was quoted by Johnson as saying that Trump's plan “calm the federal government threatens our way of life and will significantly affect our ability to maintain the safety of population and societies.”
“We cannot adhere to this. With this lawsuit, we support our duty to meet and decisively, recklessly dismantling our government,” the mayor was quoted as saying.
