SC allows President Trump to pursue mass federal job cuts

The U.S. Supreme Court gave President Donald Trump another major win, allowing his administration to move forward with sweeping federal job cuts. The ruling overrode lower court orders that had paused the layoffs, which are being driven by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), initially led by billionaire Elon Musk. 

The decision which came yesterday, allows terminations to proceed while legal



challenges continue. No specific roles were cited in the case, only Trump’s executive order and DOGE’s directive. The Supreme Court has recently backed several Trump administration actions, including those permitting migrant deportations without hearings and banning transgender individuals from military service. By April 2025, DOGE-led efforts led to over 260,000 federal workers leaving their posts.
