The Supreme Court on April 8 blocked a lower court order that mandated the Trump administration to reinstate thousands of federal employees who were let go in mass firings meant to downsize the federal government.

Trump asked the high court to intervene after a lower court judge ordered the administration to reinstate thousands of probationary workers to their jobs after they were terminated earlier this year.
