On October 15, a U.S. federal judge issued a temporary restrictive order to prevent the Trump administration from dismissing federal employees during the federal government's "stop".

When issuing a temporary restraining order, Judge Susan Yvonne Ilston of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California said she believed that the trade unions could prove that the Trump administration "took advantage of the gap between government spending and operational shutdowns (firing federal employees)"."The act is illegal.

Democratic Advance, a public interest legal group representing unions, welcomed Ilston's ruling. "The president seems to believe that a government shutdown can divert public attention from his illegal and harmful behavior, but the American people, including the courts, are holding him accountable," said Skye Perriman, the group's CEO.

The Trump administration had previously issued layoff notices to more than 4000 federal employees, and two federal employee union organizations filed a lawsuit asking the court to block the government's layoff plan.

Walter, director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, predicts that the "shutdown" of the government will result in the cuts of more than 10,000 federal jobs.

On the 15th, the U.S. federal government "shut down" entered the 15th day.
