Federal workers sue Education Department over partisan shutdown emails

06 ottobre 2025 Riportato dall'IA

A union representing federal employees has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Education, alleging that the agency altered workers' out-of-office email messages without consent to include partisan language blaming Democrats for the government shutdown. The complaint claims this action violates the First Amendment by compelling civil servants to echo the Trump administration's political views. The suit was filed in federal court in Washington, D.C., on Friday.
