  • The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court on Friday to reverse a lower court order that has blocked mass firings and major reorganizations at federal agencies, a case that could have enormous consequences on President Donald Trump's ability to reshape the federal government.

On May 16, 2025, CNN reported that the Supreme Court is set to hear an appeal from former President Donald Trump regarding mass firings during his administration. The appeal challenges a lower court's ruling that deemed the firings of multiple federal employees unconstitutional, arguing that Trump overstepped his executive authority. The case has significant implications for the balance of power between the executive branch and federal employees, with potential ramifications for future presidential actions. Trump's legal team contends that the President has broad authority to manage the federal workforce, while critics argue that such actions undermine the stability and independence of government institutions. The Supreme Court's decision, expected later in the year, could set a precedent for executive powers concerning federal employment.
