The Trump administration is pursuing Supreme Court intervention to authorize significant reductions in the federal workforce, despite a lower court's ruling that these cuts could threaten public services. A recent 2-1 decision by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a judgment that found the downsizing could impact essential services such as food safety and veterans' health care. The administration argues that it has a mandate from voters to reform government, though tens of thousands of employees have already been affected by this initiative amidst legal challenges from unions and cities.
"The administration's request for the Supreme Court comes after an appeals court refused to uphold a judge's ruling that halts the cuts to the federal workforce."
"Illston's order demands agencies to cease implementing the president's workforce reduction executive order, indicating possible public service risks due to workforce size decrease."
