The Trump administration has requested the Supreme Court to intervene in a lower court ruling that ordered the rehiring of about 16,000 federal workers dismissed during mass firings. The ruling by US District Judge William Alsup determined that the firings did not comply with federal law, which mandates adherence to specific regulations during workforce reductions. This action forms part of a broader challenge to the administration's attempts at downsizing the federal workforce and raises concerns about the legality of future firings by the executive branch.
The emergency appeal argues that the judge cannot force the executive branch to rehire some 16,000 probationary employees, arguing that the firings were legally justified.
Judge William Alsup expressed frustration with the government's attempt to sidestep established laws, stating that the firings of probationary workers did not comply with federal regulations.
