Supreme Court verdict: Supreme Court ordered thousands of fed workers fired under the Trump administration to resume

The US Supreme Court on Tuesday biased to block a lower court order with the Trump administration, in which the government needed to resume more than 16,000 probationary federal workers, which was rejected as part of widespread efforts to shrink US President Donald Trump’s federal task force.
The brief order stopped a decision by US District Judge William Alsup in California, which directed six federal agencies to restore thousands of employees, while a legal challenge plays.
According to the news agency Associated Press, Justice took its decision on a technical legal issue, stating that many non -profit groups sued. Liberal Justices Sonia Sotomore and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissatisfied and said that they would maintain the judge’s order.
Criticizing the verdict, Jackson said that the administration did not show enough urgency to justify the intervention of the Supreme Court, before the lower courts investigated the case thoroughly.
Large -scale termination affected workers in defense departments, veteran cases, agriculture, energy, internal and treasury departments.
Judge Alsup, appointed by former US President Bill Clinton, found that the US Office of Personnel Management (OPM) improperly orchestrated firing without following valid procedures. “This is a sad day when our government would fire some good employees and say it was based on the performance when they know well and well that it’s a lie,” Alsup commented.
However, the Supreme Court did not rule whether the firing was valid, nor does it weigh whether the employees should eventually be restored. This only determines that non -profit institutions that brought the case lacked the legal status required to receive nationwide prohibitory orders.
The administration, supported by Solicitor General D John Sawar, argued that federal agencies personally reviewed and decided on the end.
According to The New York Times, in its emergency filing, the Department of Justice described Alsup’s decision as part of the “chaos” as “anarchy” and to reduce the Executive Authority as part of a “unstable trend”.
Despite Tuesday’s decision, a uniform restoration order from a federal judge in Maryland is effective, which covers employees in 19 Democratic-Left states and Columbia district. According to AP, this order is more limited, but still applies to the same six departments and about a dozen more agencies.
The coalition of non -profit organizations and labor unions behind the cases expressed disappointment but vowed to continue the legal battle. The group said in a statement, “There is no doubt that thousands of public service employees were illegally fired in an attempt to crush federal agencies and their important programs, which serve millions of Americans every day.”
Since returning to Trump’s office, he and advisor Elon Musk have pushed an aggressive agenda to reduce the size of the government, which is more unsafe for the termination by targeting probable employees who are targeting probationary employees.
According to the court filing, at least 24,000 federal workers have been fired under these measures, although the administration has not publicly confirmed the clan.
