WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Wednesday ordered that, for now, President Donald Trump is not required to reinstate two members of independent federal agencies he wants to fire.The provisional decision affects Gwynne Wilcox, a member of the National Labor Relations Board, and Cathy Harris, a member of the Merit Systems Protection Board.
Chief Justice John Roberts issued an order that temporarily blocked lower court rulings that said the two officials should be reinstated.
The court will decide what next steps to take in the case after hearing from lawyers for the two ousted officials.
Although the Supreme Court previously upheld protections against members of independent agencies being removed without cause, the current conservative majority has reversed course in recent cases affecting other agencies. Wilcox was appointed to the body that adjudicates labor disputes by then-President Joe Biden in 2021. Her five-year term would have expired in 2026. Under federal law, the president can only fire members "for neglect of duty or malfeasance in office."
