The Trump administration has requested the Supreme Court to intervene against a judge's decision to reinstate approximately 16,000 federal workers terminated during mass layoffs aimed at reducing government size. The emergency appeal argues that the judicial mandate is unlawful and oversteps boundaries of executive power. This comes amid a series of legal challenges against President Trump's administration, with the courts frequently ruling against actions taken by the government, particularly related to employment and civil rights issues. Analysis of the ongoing legal disputes highlights the tension between judicial oversight and executive authority.
The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to halt a ruling mandating the rehiring of thousands of federal workers fired to downsize the government.
Emergency appeal argues that forcing rehiring of approximately 16,000 probationary employees violates federal law, based on a California-based judge's ruling.
The appeal urges the conservative-majority Supreme Court to curb the frequency of federal judges who have obstructed Trump's agenda.
U.S. District Judge William Alsup found the firings didn't comply with federal law. The reinstatement applies to policy at six federal agencies.
