In a Supreme Court appeal, Trump’s legal team contested a ruling mandating the immediate rehire of 16,000 federal workers. They argued that U.S. District Judge William Alsup overstepped by challenging executive personnel decisions. The appeal follows a union lawsuit against the administration's job cuts, which lower courts dismissed. Acting Solicitor Gen. Sarah Harris warned that the reinstatement order disrupts the executive branch's authority, with pending appellate review. This case highlights ongoing tensions around the government's role in managing its workforce amid aggressive employment reductions.
Acting Solicitor Gen. Sarah Harris stated that the judge's 'extraordinary reinstatement order violates the separation of powers,' challenging a district court's authority over executive personnel decisions.
Trump's lawyers emphasized that allowing a district court to override executive decisions undermines the fundamental principle of separation of powers and jeopardizes effective government management.
