Trump Asks Supreme Court to Let Federal Layoffs Move Forward
- President Donald Trump's administration renewed its request on Monday for the Supreme Court to allow downsizing the federal workforce amid ongoing lawsuits.
- The request followed a 2-1 appeals court decision refusing to freeze a California judge's order halting the cuts due to lack of congressional approval.
- The Department of Government Efficiency leads the cuts affecting tens of thousands of workers, including at least 75,000 who took deferred resignation.
- Solicitor General D. John Sauer argued that Illston’s ruling is based on the flawed assumption that the President must have clear legislative approval from Congress to carry out his fundamental Article II power over executive personnel decisions.
- The Supreme Court has given unions and several municipalities—such as Baltimore, Chicago, and San Francisco—a deadline to submit their responses by the upcoming Monday in relation to the ongoing legal dispute.
