A federal appeals court on April 9 lifted a court order requiring 20 federal agencies to reinstate newer workers they had fired, clearing the way for President Donald Trump’s administration to resume mass terminations.

The federal judge who entered the order appears to have gone beyond his remit, the majority of a panel of judges at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit stated in a ruling staying his order as the government’s appeal is considered.
