Supreme Court Lets Trump Workforce Cuts Proceed

News summary

The Supreme Court has lifted a lower court injunction, allowing President Donald Trump to proceed with a sweeping executive order to downsize and restructure the federal workforce. The unsigned order, with Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissenting, permits the administration to continue layoffs and agency reorganizations while lawsuits challenging the order’s legality move forward. Critics, including unions and dissenting justices, warn that the move could result in mass firings, dismantling of federal programs, and loss of critical government services, with estimates that tens of thousands of federal employees have already been affected. The ruling is seen as a significant win for Trump and highlights the Supreme Court’s pattern of granting emergency relief to the administration's efforts to reshape government without explicit congressional approval. Justice Jackson and others argue that this sets a problematic precedent by expanding presidential authority and undermining Congress’s statutory role in federal reorganization. The case will continue through the appellate courts.
