The U.S. Supreme Court Tuesday said the White House can go ahead with plans for major layoffs and restructuring of the federal government while legal challenges play out, according to media reports.
The Washington Post and other media outlets reported Tuesday afternoon that the high court elected not to block planning for mass layoffs at this stage. The ruling was in response to emergency motions filed by the administration in response to litigation filed in lower courts by the American Federation of Government Employees and other groups.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson filed a written dissent, the Post reported.
This is a developing story.
