Appeals Court Upholds Ruling Halting Trump Administration's Federal Workforce Downsizing
A federal appeals court has upheld a ruling that blocks the Trump administration's plans for mass layoffs and restructuring of federal agencies.

Overview
The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has denied the Trump administration's request to pause a ruling that halts mass layoffs and restructuring of federal agencies. The court found that the executive order for downsizing exceeds presidential powers and requires congressional authorization. This decision maintains a pause on the administration's efforts to reduce the federal workforce, which has already seen significant job losses. The case, brought by labor unions and local governments, may eventually reach the Supreme Court as the administration seeks to overturn the ruling.
