Donald Trump scores major legal win on blocked order
President Donald Trump's administration secured a legal win on Friday when a federal appeals court lifted a lower court injunction that had blocked the president's plan to end unionizing rights for hundreds of thousands of federal workers in a case brought by the National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU).
Newsweek contacted the Department of Justice and the NTEU for comment on Saturday via online inquiry form and email respectively outside of regular office hours.
Why It Matters
With Republicans controlling both chambers of Congress the courts have emerged as arguably the most significant impediment to Trump administration policy.
Since Donald Trump's second inauguration in January courts have blocked a number of his policies including a ban on transgender individuals serving in the military, the freezing of billions in foreign aid and on Friday the Supreme Court ruled against deporting Venezuelan nationals using the 1798 Alien Enemies Act.
