Appeals court denies Trump administration's request to resume mass firings
Read Original Source
An appeals court on Friday refused to freeze a California judge's order halting the Trump administration from downsizing the federal workforce, which means that Department of Government Efficiency-led cuts remain on pause for now. In the 2-1 ruling, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals denied the White House's request to freeze the injunction. "The Executive Order at issue here far exceeds the President's supervisory powers under the Constitution," the appeals court wrote.
