TRUMP Appeals to SUPREME COURT on Firing US Agency Boss

PLUS Divided Appeals Court Denies TRUMPs Attempt to Fire Watchdog

BBC 17 FEB 2025

Hampton Dellinger was fired in a one-sentence email this month

Donald Trump has asked the US Supreme Court to allow him to fire the head of an independent ethics agency that protects whistleblower federal employees.

He has filed an emergency appeal to the countrys highest court to rule on whether he can fire Hampton Dellinger, head of the US Office of Special Counsel.

It is thought to be the first case related to Trumps blizzard of executive actions to reach the highest court.

Trump has also cut more than a dozen inspectors general at various federal agencies and fired thousands of employees across the US government.

Mr Dellinger, who was nominated by President Joe Biden, sued the Trump administration after he was fired by email this month.

He argued that his removal broke a law that says he can only be dismissed for poor job performance and that was not given as a reason in the email dismissing him.

The agency lists among its primary objectives the protection of federal employees from unlawful actions in reprisal to whistleblowing, according to its mission statement.

A federal judge in Washington DC issued a temporary order on Wednesday allowing Mr Dellinger to hold on to his position while the case is being considered.

District Judge Amy Berman Jackson said the firing broke US law which tried to ensure the independence of the agency and protect it from political interference.

On Saturday, a divided US Court of Appeals in the nations capital rejected the Trump administrations request to overrule the lower court.

That has led to the justice department filing an emergency appeal to the conservative-dominated Supreme Court, a filing seen by various US media.

This court should not allow lower courts to seize executive power by dictating to the president how long he must continue employing an agency head against his will, Sarah M Harris, acting solicitor general, wrote in the filing provided by the Department of Justice to the Washington Post.

Appeals Court Denies TRUMPs Attempt to Fire Watchdog

Feb. 16 (UPI) -- A divided federal appeals court has denied President Donald Trump's request to fire a federal official from a post overseeing workplace protections for federal employees.

The White House plans to appeal the 2-1 decision by the District of Columbia Court of Appeals issued late Saturday that affirmed a district court judges decision blocking the firing of Office of Special Counsel chief Hampton Dellinger, an appointee of President Joe Biden.

I can and am continuing with my work as Special Counsel, and I am grateful for the opportunity to do so, Dellinger said in a statement to Politico after the appeals court ruling.

The Justice Department described the district courts ruling as an unprecedented assault on the separation of powers, according to a copy of the appeal

Until now, as far as we are aware, no court in American history has wielded an injunction to force the president to retain an agency head whom the president believes should not be entrusted with executive power and to prevent the president from relying on his preferred replacement.

In this Justice Matters interview, Representative Jim Himes pulls no punches discussing the transgressions of the Trump administration;

1. Trumps demeaning fork in the road email to all federal employees, asserting that the dedicated federal public servants are low productivity employees.

2. The Trump administrations dangerous attempted decimation of the FBI.

3. The obvious unsuitability of Kash Patel to be Director of the FBI.

4. What We The People can do to remain engaged in the battle for a healthy American democracy.
