一名联邦法官周二阻止美国农业部继续推进其计划中的机构重组，这对特朗普总统对行政部门的全面改革构成打击。
A federal judge on Tuesday blocked the US Department of Agriculture from proceeding with its planned agency reorganization, in a blow to President Donald Trump's sweeping overhaul of the executive branch.
由莉娅·道格拉斯报道，加利福尼亚州北区地方法院的裁决是起诉以阻止重组工会的胜利，部分原因是员工表示该重组将削弱机构服务。
By Leah Douglas The ruling from the District Court for the Northern District of California is a victory for unions that had sued to block the reorganization effort, in part because employees said it would weaken agency services.
该命令暂停了美国农业部多个机构的重组工作，包括农业研究服务局、森林服务局、食品和营养署等。
The order halts reorganization efforts at several USDA agencies, including the Agricultural Research Service, Forest Service, Food and Nutrition Administration, and others.
法官文斯·查布里亚表示，该机构正在“重新编程”国会拨款用于重组，或者说将资金用于原本未计划的用途。
Judge Vince Chhabria said the agency was "reprogramming" congressional funds for the reorganization, or using money for a different purpose than it was intended.
“国会并未设想农业部会使用其拨款来关闭办公室或迁移员工，”查布里亚写道。
"Congress did not contemplate USDA using its appropriated funds to shut down offices or relocate employees," Chhabria wrote.
该机构的重组计划旨在将约2600名华盛顿地区员工迁离，并整合全国范围内的机构办公室。
The agency's reorganization effort has sought to move about 2,600 employees from the Washington region, as well as to consolidate agency offices across the country.
机构工作人员警告称，因重组导致的大规模员工流离失所可能危及贸易、对外援助、营养及其他项目。
Agency staff had warned that wide-scale employee departures because of the reorganization risked trade, foreign aid, nutrition and other programs.
一位美国农业部发言人表示：“部门正在审查法官的裁决，并将向法院提交回应。”
A USDA spokesperson said, “The Department is reviewing the Judge’s decision and will file its response with the Court."
“政府试图削弱这一关键机构的行动明显违法，我们很高兴法院暂时叫停了这一鲁莽计划，”美国州、县及市雇员联合会主席帕特里克·莫兰在一份声明中说道。
"The administration’s attempt to gut this essential agency is blatantly illegal, and we’re thankful the court has stopped it, for now, from proceeding with a reckless plan," said Patrick Moran, president of the American Federation of State, County & Municipal Employees, in a statement.
