Whether these massive layoffs will stand is now a question for the courts, with federal judges in San Francisco granting temporary relief to a coalition of unions suing the administration for illegal dismissals.

In the benefits of the administration's efforts, the DC Court of Appeals ruled that Trump could legally dismiss the head of the Federal Watchdog Bureau of Special Council. That case will likely rise to the US Supreme Court. PBS reported.
