Appeals Court Blocks Trump Admin's Federal Layoffs | JQJO

A US appeals court upheld a lower court's injunction blocking most federal agency layoffs initiated by the Trump administration. The 2-1 ruling by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals sided with unions and advocacy groups who argued the layoffs were illegal and unconstitutional. The court found the administration's justifications insufficient and that irreparable harm would occur. The administration, arguing it would suffer financial injury, is expected to appeal to the Supreme Court.
