US EditionTrump administration asks Supreme Court to lift block on mass layoffs
- The Trump administration filed an emergency appeal on Friday asking the Supreme Court to lift a federal judge's order blocking mass layoffs across more than 20 agencies.
- This appeal follows U.S. District Judge Susan Illston's May 9 ruling that halted the administration's large-scale workforce reductions for not meeting legal and procedural requirements.
- Illston’s order shields 21 agencies including the Departments of Agriculture, Energy, Health and Human Services, and Treasury, stopping at least 40 planned reductions across 17 agencies.
- Solicitor General John Sauer contended that the judge’s injunction unlawfully restricts the president’s clear legal power to organize and execute employee terminations, forcing the government to keep staff members deemed unnecessary by federal agencies.
- If upheld, the ruling could significantly limit President Trump’s ability to downsize and reorganize the federal workforce, affecting ongoing administration efforts to reduce government size.
