Appeals Court Keeps Pauses on Trump's Mass Firings at 21 Agencies

  • A three-judge panel of the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 on Friday to keep a lower court's injunction pausing Trump's mass federal workforce cuts at 21 agencies.
  • The lower court had blocked the cuts after plaintiffs sued, arguing the executive order exceeded the President's constitutional authority and bypassed required congressional cooperation.
  • Judges William Fletcher and Lucy Koh affirmed the injunction, expressing concern the reductions could harm essential government services and called the order an unprecedented restructuring requiring Congress.
  • Fletcher stated that the executive order goes beyond the President's constitutional authority to supervise the executive branch, while dissenting Judge Callahan maintained that Trump likely possesses the legitimate power to implement changes to the federal workforce.
  • The administration plans to seek Supreme Court review and stated it will continue fighting, but for now, mass federal workforce reductions remain on hold pending further legal resolution.
