Edit #2
The Supreme Court reversed a lower court injunction, allowing federal agencies to resume mass layoffs as part of the Trump administration’s workforce reduction plans. The decision, supported by the majority, ruled that the administration’s executive order and related guidance were likely lawful, enabling agencies like Health and Human Services, Interior, Agriculture, and State to proceed with staff cuts. The injunction had been upheld by a California district judge and an appeals court following lawsuits from unions and advocacy groups, who argued that the layoffs required congressional approval. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented, warning that the ruling permits an unprecedented dismantling of the federal government, bypassing Congress and causing irreparable harm. The case, still pending a full merits review by the Ninth Circuit and potentially the Supreme Court, has shown the Court’s inclination to favor the administration. Democratic lawmakers, including Rep. Robert Garcia and Sen. Chris Van Hollen, pledged to continue opposing the cuts through legislative, judicial, and community efforts, citing long-term damage to government functionality.
