The Supreme Court blocked a California federal judge's order that mandated the Trump administration to rehire over 16,000 probationary federal workers across multiple departments. The court determined that the nonprofit groups who challenged the dismissals lacked the legal standing to sue, and Justice Sotomayor dissented without providing reasons. Justice Jackson criticized the court's emergency ruling as inappropriate. Despite this decision, another ruling requiring the reinstatement of many of the same workers remains effective, highlighting ongoing complexities in legal challenges to recent executive orders.
"The court's brief order said the nonprofit groups that had sued to challenge the dismissals had not suffered the sort of injury that gave them standing to sue."
"Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said the court should not have ruled on such an important issue in the context of an emergency application."
