JUST IN: Supreme Court Delivers Another Major Victory For Trump, DOGE

In a major win for President Donald Trump, the U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday blocked a lower court order that would have forced his administration to rehire over 16,000 federal employees across six government agencies. The brief, unsigned decision gives Trump the green light to move forward with his plan to reduce the federal workforce, a key element of his effort to streamline Washington.
The high court’s ruling halts a March 13 injunction issued by U.S. District Judge William Alsup in California. That order had directed the Trump administration to reinstate probationary employees at the Departments of Defense, Veterans Affairs, Agriculture, Energy, Interior, and Treasury.
Alsup’s decision stemmed from a lawsuit brought by nine nonprofit organizations, which challenged the legality of the terminations. But in Tuesday’s order, the Supreme Court said those organizations lacked the legal standing to sue.
The justices stayed Alsup’s injunction pending the outcome of an appeal at the Ninth Circuit and a potential review by the Supreme Court itself, should a petition for certiorari be filed. If the Court declines to hear the case, the stay will automatically be lifted.
