State Department spokesperson said the agency is poised to move "quickly" after the Supreme Court shot down a lower-court ruling blocking the Trump administration from implementing wide-scale reductions in force across the federal government.

The U.S. Supreme Court has allowed the Trump administration to proceed with its plans for large-scale layoffs. The Maine AFL-CIO said it's most concerned about potential layoffs at Social Security offices in Maine and the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard.

SCOTUS allowed President Trump’s federal workforce cuts to proceed temporarily, pausing a lower court block while legal challenges continue.
