Washington — The Supreme Court spent much of its most recent term responding to a fire hose of requests for emergency relief sought by the Trump administration, as President Trump's efforts to implement key aspects of his second-term agenda were stymied by lower courts on several fronts.

The Tuesday decision said that Trump's executive order directing agencies to develop workforce reduction plans is likely lawful.

Lower-court judges have already blocked several Trump's policies including an asylum ban at the US-Mexico border.

State Department spokesperson indicates workforce reductions will proceed quickly following Supreme Court's decision to overturn a lower court ruling that blocked Trump reforms.

But a May 22 move by the Supreme Court may signal the end of the NLRB’s independence, say labor leaders, and transform the agency into an extension of the White House. In turn, they warn, President Donald Trump could use the board to reward friends and punish enemies.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Wednesday refused to allow Florida to enforce an immigration law making it a crime for people who are living in the U.S. illegally to enter the state. The high court’s action will keep the law on hold while a legal challenge continues. The court did not explain its decision and no justice noted a dissent.

SCOTUS allowed President Trump’s federal workforce cuts to proceed temporarily, pausing a lower court block while legal challenges continue.

The Supreme Court has issued back-to-back orders allowing the deportation of illegal immigrants to South Sudan — a move that has likely laid the groundwork for the Trump administration to remove Salvadoran national Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a third country,
