A federal appeals court halted President Trump's mass firings across multiple federal agencies. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Trump's executive order exceeded his constitutional authority, siding with federal employee unions and other groups who challenged the layoffs. The court stated that Congress, not the President, holds the power to authorize such large-scale workforce reductions. The Trump administration plans to appeal the decision, potentially taking the case to the Supreme Court.
