Supreme Court Allows Trump Mass Federal Layoffs
The U.S. Supreme Court, in an 8-1 decision, has permitted the Trump administration to proceed with mass layoffs of federal workers by lifting a lower court injunction against the executive order. The ruling allows agencies to implement 'large-scale reductions in force,' potentially affecting tens or even hundreds of thousands of federal jobs, though legal challenges to the specifics of the layoffs are ongoing. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was the sole dissenter, arguing such restructuring typically requires congressional approval and criticizing the decision as overreaching. The majority clarified their ruling addressed the executive order's lawfulness, not individual agency layoff plans. The layoffs are part of a broader government downsizing initiative aligned with Project 2025, supported by Trump and conservative allies. Democrats and labor unions have condemned the ruling, warning it could undermine critical government services.
