Supreme Court Clears Way for Trump’s Major Federal Layoffs
The U.S. Supreme Court granted a significant legal victory to President Donald Trump on Tuesday by allowing his executive order for large-scale federal workforce reductions to move forward.
In a brief, unsigned decision, the Court lifted a lower court injunction that had blocked Trump’s February 13 order, which called for substantial cuts across federal agencies. The injunction had been issued by Judge Susan Illston, a Clinton appointee in Northern California, who raised questions about the legality of the directive.
