A split panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has indicated that terminations of federal workers should likely be appealed through a separate employment process rather than in federal court. This ruling comes amid ongoing legal challenges regarding the Trump administration's firings of probationary employees across multiple agencies. The administration is also attempting to limit federal courts' ability to block its actions, even if deemed illegal or unconstitutional. Additionally, a D.C. Circuit panel has expressed division over the Trump administration's request to prevent a lower court order that would stop the shutdown of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). The Department of Justice has disavowed plans to close the CFPB, and Chief Justice Roberts has permitted the administration to remove a member from the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). Furthermore, the D.C. Circuit has partially blocked a lower court's order aimed at preventing the dismantling of the CFPB, while the Trump administration seeks to stay portions of the injunction related to this case.
