The justices set aside a ruling by U.S. District Judge William Alsup in San Francisco, who ordered the administration to “immediately” rehire 16,000 probationary employees. WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected challenges to the Trump administration‘s mass firing of new federal workers.

The Supreme Court said the Trump administration can move forward with the termination of thousands of probationary workers across six federal agencies and departments.

The case focuses on a judge's requirement that employees fired by the Trump administration be fully reinstated while litigation continues.
