The Trump administration has appealed to the Supreme Court to stop a recent ruling that ordered the rehiring of 16,000 federal workers improperly terminated as part of a significant downsizing of the federal government. A judge found that these firings, overseen by the Office of Personnel Management, did not comply with federal regulations. This appeal, highlighting the administration's frustrations with judicial decisions curtailing its agenda, comes amid increasing judicial scrutiny of Trump's policies, marking a pivotal challenge in the ongoing conflict between branches of government.
The emergency appeal argues that the judge can't force the executive branch to rehire some 16,000 probationary employees.
The courts have become ground zero for pushback to Trump with judges ruling against the administration on over three dozen occasions.
U.S. District Judge William Alsup ruled that the terminations were improperly directed and ordered rehirings at six federal agencies.
Alsup expressed frustration with the government's attempt to sidestep laws and regulations governing a reduction in workforce.
