Hakamku wuxuu dib u celiyay go'aanka Madaxweyne Trump ee ka saaraya xeer-ilaaliyaha gobolka Seattle
Hakam Stanley Bastian ayaa maanta go'aan ka gaaray in go'aanka Madaxweyne Donald Trump ee ka saaraya xeer-ilaaliyaha gobolka Seattle, Roger Rogoff, uu yahay mid sharci-darro ah, isagoo Rogoff dib u soo celiyay.
Go'aanka Hakam Bastian iyo sababta
Hakam Stanley Bastian, oo ah hoggaamiyaha gobolka Waqooyiga Waqooyiga, wuxuu sheegay in sharciyada federaalka aysan ogolaanin in madaxweynuhu ka saaro xeer-ilaaliyaha la doortay. Wuxuu yiri: 'Ma ahan in la yiraahdo ilaa madaxweynuhu ka saaro qofka la doortay.'
Wuxuu ku daray in Rogoff uu yahay xeer-ilaaliyaha gobolka Seattle tan iyo 15-kii July 2026, markii uu xilka qabtay. Tani waxay tahay go'aan aad u muhiim ah oo ku saabsan sharci-darrada iyo xeerka.
Taariikhda Rogoff iyo khilaafka
17-kii heshiis-yaqaan ee gobolka Seattle ayaa Rogoff u doortay xeer-ilaaliye, balse Trump wuxuu ka saaray ka hor inta uusan xilka qaban. Rogoff wuxuu ka horreeyay inuu waddanka ka dhigo qofkii ugu horreeyay ee ka horreeya inuu ka saaro xeer-ilaaliyaha la doortay.
Waxaa jira arrimo kale oo la xiriira, sida in Trump uu doortay Charles Neil Floyd oo ahaa xeer-ilaaliye dhexe, balse uu uusan u gudbinin xisbiga Senate-ka. Sidoo kale, wuxuu doortay Pete Serrano, balse Serrano wuxuu ku jiraa xaalad aan la xaqiijin.

U.S. District Judge Stanley Bastian ruled Thursday that President Donald Trump's dismissal of court-appointed U.S. Attorney Roger Rogoff was illegal, reinstating him as the top federal prosecutor in Seattle.
The Ruling and Legal Basis
U.S. District Judge Stanley Bastian found the termination of Roger Rogoff unlawful and reinstated him to his post. Bastian noted that when presidents fail to fill a U.S. attorney post with a nominee confirmed by the Senate, federal law authorizes the judges of that district to appoint someone 'until the vacancy is filled.'
He concluded: 'Mr. Roger Rogoff is the United States attorney for the Western District of Washington and has been the rightful holder of that office since July 15, 2026, when he took the oath of office.' Bastian is the chief judge in eastern Washington and heard the case because the judges in western Washington were recused.
Background and Political Fallout
The 17 active and senior judges in the Western District of Washington unanimously named Roger Rogoff U.S. attorney in July, after Trump failed to fill the post with a nominee confirmed by the U.S. Senate. The president fired Rogoff less than an hour later, and Rogoff sued, becoming the first court-appointed U.S. attorney to challenge such a removal in court.
The Justice Department said in a written statement it disagreed with the decision and would appeal. Trump last month nominated Pete Serrano to be the U.S. attorney in Seattle, but Serrano has not been confirmed, and his nomination is opposed by Washington's senior Democratic senator, Patty Murray.
A Pattern of Judicial Appointments Under Fire
Rogoff is the latest in a series of judicially appointed U.S. attorneys to be ousted by the Trump administration. In December, Alina Habbar resigned as the top federal prosecutor for New Jersey after an appeals court said she had been serving in the post unlawfully.
Lindsey Halligan left her position as an acting U.S. attorney in Virginia after a judge concluded her appointment was unlawful. The judges there named James Hundley, but the administration fired him. It also fired a court-appointed U.S. attorney in northern New York.
