SCOTUS allowed President Trump’s federal workforce cuts to proceed temporarily, pausing a lower court block while legal challenges continue.
The US Department of Health and Human Services officially laid off employees on Monday, following an order from the Supreme Court on July 8 that allowed its restructuring plans to proceed, according to emails viewed by Bloomberg.
