SCOTUS allowed President Trump’s federal workforce cuts to proceed temporarily, pausing a lower court block while legal challenges continue.

Federal employees are anxious about losing their jobs after the Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration could move forward with firing them, Politico reported Thursday. The Supreme Court earlier this week lifted a lower court order that temporarily blocked President Donald Trump’s plan to fire thousands of federal workers.

Union attorneys are renewing their push for the release of agencies' RIF plans after the court found those plans could still be challenged individually.

Federal employees in Maryland anxiously await the Supreme Court’s decision on whether the Trump administration will be allowed to proceed with firing thousands of federal government workers.

A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to bring back the workers, but they remain effectively on leave.

"I think the biggest hurdle that I think a lot of federal employees face is just not knowing this is a benefit you’re entitled to," said Michael Macomber.
