Trump Asks Supreme Court to Reinstate Mass Firing of 16,000 Federal Workers

The is requesting that the allow it to proceed with the dismissal of more than 16,000 federal employees who are still within their probationary periods.

A federal judge in California previously ruled that the terminations—affecting personnel across several agencies, including Affairs, Agriculture, Defense, and Treasury—did not follow established procedural requirements.

In response, the has petitioned the Supreme Court to overturn the decision, asserting that the lower court exceeded its authority and encroached upon presidential powers.

The move is part of a broader initiative by former President Trump to reduce the size of the federal workforce, an effort that has already resulted in the elimination of approximately 24,000 positions.

While the White House has framed the initiative as a measure to improve government efficiency, critics have characterized it as a direct assault on public service.
