💨 Abstract

The Trump administration appealed to the Supreme Court to resume reducing the federal workforce, challenging a federal judge's order that temporarily halted his downsizing efforts. Judge Susan Illston had questioned the legality of Trump's actions and ordered agencies to stop implementing his executive order and related memos. The solicitor general argued Illston overstepped her authority. The downsizing has affected numerous agencies and led to tens of thousands of job cuts, impacting services and workers.
