Supreme Court Permits Trump’s Federal Workforce Layoffs

News summary

The U.S. Supreme Court has lifted a lower court injunction, permitting the Trump administration to proceed with mass layoffs of federal workers at a minimum of 17 agencies, including major departments like State, Treasury, and Housing. While some injunctions remain in place for agencies such as Health and Human Services and AmeriCorps, the ruling allows most of the executive order to move forward. The administration claims the layoffs will improve government efficiency, but unions and local governments warn of disruptions to essential services relied on by millions. Anxiety among federal employees is high, especially in agencies like the EPA and Department of the Interior, as layoffs and restructuring could begin soon. The Supreme Court indicated the executive order is likely lawful, but ongoing litigation means the final outcome is uncertain. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented, cautioning about serious threats to public services and constitutional principles.
