Federal Workers Await Fate in Wake of Ruling

UNITED STATES, JUL 9 – The Supreme Court lifted a lower court injunction, enabling the Trump administration to proceed with workforce reductions affecting tens of thousands of federal employees amid ongoing litigation.

  • The U.S. Supreme Court issued an 8-1 order on Tuesday allowing the Trump administration to resume mass federal layoffs nationwide.
  • This ruling lifted a May injunction by Judge Susan Illston that had paused layoffs due to concerns about the administration bypassing Congress.
  • The executive order from February directs agencies to prepare layoffs affecting tens of thousands of employees, including 10,000 at Health and Human Services.
  • Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented, calling the majority's decision a 'wrecking ball' approach and warning it undermines congressional authority.
  • The decision allows layoffs to proceed during ongoing litigation, potentially reshaping the federal workforce but leaving legal challenges unresolved.
