The United States Supreme Court has blocked a lower court order that directed the Trump administration to re-hire 16,000 probationary federal workers who had been fired earlier this year.
As the New York Times reported, the court 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," while adding that the order's impacts "may be limited, as another trial judge’s ruling requiring the reinstatement of many of the same workers remains in place."
It's the latest win to be handed to Trump by the Supreme Court this week. On Monday night gave the Trump administration the green light to continue mass deportations under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, although it said that it must give people targeted for deportation under that act the ability to file a habeas corpus petition to challenge the legality of their detention.
