The Department of Justice on April 16 asked the Supreme Court to formally block lower court rulings that prevented President Donald Trump from firing members of independent labor boards.

Acting on behalf of the high court, Chief Justice John Roberts on April 9 temporarily halted the orders by two Washington-based federal judges that blocked the president’s firings of Cathy Harris from the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) and Gwynne Wilcox from the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) before their terms expire.
