Trump Asks Supreme Court To Let Federal Layoffs Move Forward

On Monday, the Trump administration asked the U.S. Supreme Court to pause a federal judge’s order blocking mass layoffs and agency restructuring, part of President Donald Trump’s plan to downsize the government. The Justice Department’s request follows a May 22 ruling by U.S. District Judge Susan Illston in San Francisco, who sided with unions, nonprofits, and local governments opposing the large-scale federal job cuts. The case affects multiple departments, including Agriculture, Commerce, Health and Human Services, State, Treasury, and Veterans Affairs.
