Supreme Court allows Trump to proceed with large-scale government agency staff cuts, reorganizations

UNITED STATES, JUL 9 – The Supreme Court lifted a lower court block on Trump’s executive order, allowing federal agencies to proceed with layoffs affecting potentially hundreds of thousands of employees.

  • On Tuesday, the US Supreme Court lifted a lower court injunction allowing President Trump to proceed with mass layoffs and reorganizations in federal agencies nationwide.
  • The case arose from Trump's mid-February executive order directing agencies to prepare workforce reduction plans without congressional approval, prompting a lawsuit by a coalition of unions and states.
  • The order affects more than a dozen agencies including Agriculture, Energy, Labor, Treasury, Health and Human Services, Veterans Affairs, and EPA and involves cuts of tens of thousands of jobs.
  • The Court issued an unsigned 8-1 stay ruling finding the Executive Order likely lawful, with Justice Jackson dissenting as 'hubristic and senseless' and Justice Sotomayor concurring but emphasizing the plans are not yet ripe for review.
  • The ruling permits agencies to resume layoffs, representing a procedural victory for the administration while the coalition stated the decision harms democracy and endangers essential services.
