ReutersPresident Donald Trump's attempts to shrink the federal bureaucracy are heading to the Supreme Court, according to US media.
He has filed an emergency appeal to the highest court of the country to decide whether he can fire the leader of an independent signaling agency.
Hampton Delinger, head of the US Special Council office, filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration after being fired this month by email.
Trump also fired more than a dozen general inspectors in various federal agencies, along with the jobs of thousands of government officials.
Delinger, who was nominated by Joe Biden, a former president, claims that his removal violates a law that protects the leaders of independent agencies from being fired by the president, “except in cases of neglect, abuse or ineffectiveness.”
A Federal Judge in Washington has issued a temporary order on Wednesday, allowing G -N Delinger to stay in its position while the case is heard.
On Saturday, a divided Court of Appeal in the United States in the capital of the nation rejected the request of the Trump administration to annul the lower court.
This has led to the fact that the Ministry of Justice filed an emergency appeal to the Supreme Court, dominated by conservatively. This is the first time the president has taken to the jurors since he took office last month.
“This court should not allow the more courts to seize the executive power by dictating the President how long he should continue to hire an agency's leader against his will,” writes Sara by the Ministry of Justice The Washington Post.
“So far, as far as we are aware, no court in American history has owned an order to force the president to keep a head of the agency,” the general acting lawyer wrote, according to the Associated Press agency.
The Republican President's order on immigration, transgender and governmental issues have also been sunk in dozens of court cases in the lower courts. These cases can eventually be wound in the Supreme Court.
Trump's efforts to reduce and reshape 2.3 million civilian workforce continued over the weekend.
Workers at various health agencies, who are still within their test periods, received letters on Saturday night, informing them that they would be discontinued, sources told CBS News, the US partner of the BBC.
“Unfortunately, the agency finds you are not fit for prolonged employment, since your ability, knowledge and skills do not meet the current needs of the Agency and your presentation has not been adequate to justify the more employment in the agency,” read The letters.
At least 9,500 workers in the Health and Human Services Departments, Energy, Veterans, Internal and Agriculture have been fired by Trump, according to a representative of the Reuters Agency.
Another 75,000 workers have taken the purchase, suggested to make them leave voluntarily, according to the White House.
The cost reduction initiative is led by the Ministry of Efficiency of the Government or Dogi, a working group led by Elon Musk.
