In May, Massachusetts District Court Judge Myong J. Joun, a Joe Biden appointee, sided with several left-wing states after they sued over firings at the department. The injunction not only stopped the administration from continuing to cut staff, but it also ordered them to re-hire those who had been terminated.

In a 6-3 decision, with all the Democrat-appointed justices dissenting, the Supreme Court put the kibosh on that and returned power to the White House, paving the way for the firings to continue.
