The U.S. Supreme Court recently ruled in favor of the Trump administration, overturning a lower court’s decision that ordered the reinstatement of over 16,000 probationary federal employees.
This decision, which impacts multiple federal agencies, is a temporary ruling, with the case set to continue. Justice Sonia Sotomayor dissented without providing reasons, while Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson argued the court should not have ruled in this emergency context.
Additionally, the Supreme Court sided with the administration regarding the use of a 1798 wartime law to expedite deportations of Venezuelan nationals, overriding a district court’s restraining order. The ruling emphasized migrants’ due process rights, ensuring they receive notice and a chance to seek judicial review before deportation.
