Trump admin asks Supreme Court to block judge’s order to rehire thousands of fired federal workers

The Trump administration has asked to Supreme Court to challenge a judge's order that would have the government rehire thousands of federal workers fired by the Trump administration. 

According to Reuters, on Monday, the Department of Justice requested that the Supreme Court block an order from US District Judge William Alsup that demanded six federal agencies rehire the thousands of workers that were let go by the Trump administration.

The DOJ wrote in the filing that the order allowed for a judge to “hijack the employment relationship between the federal government and its workforce.”
