Summary
Federal courts continue to thwart the Trump administration’s sweeping attempts to shrink government programs and staff, with judges repeatedly accusing officials of ignoring or delaying orders.
Recent rulings:
- Halted OPM’s firing of probationary (new) employees, holding OPM had “no authority” to dictate hiring and firing decisions at other agencies.
- Blocked a blanket freeze on foreign aid, but SCOTUS granted a stay.
- Found attempts to suspend refugee admissions exceeded presidential authority.
- Restricted immigration enforcement at religious locations
- Limited federal access by DOGE for Education, OPM, Treasury, and Labor Department records.
- Enjoined a proposed federal funding freeze.
- Upheld injunctions against Trump’s birthright citizenship order in two appeals courts for likelihood of 14th Amendment violations.
