Supreme Court Blocks Trump’s Effort To Fire Whistleblower Chief, Dellinger To Stay Until Feb 26

The U.S. Supreme Court has temporarily blocked the Trump administration’s attempt to fire whistleblower chief Hampton Dellinger. The Biden appointee will remain in his post at least until Feb. 26 as legal proceedings continue. Liberal justices opposed the firing, while conservative justices dissented, arguing the court overstepped. This marks the first Supreme Court challenge to Trump’s removals. #SupremeCourt #Trump #HamptonDellinger #Whistleblower #LegalBattle #Biden #FederalAgency #Government #JudicialReview #SCOTUS #PoliticalControl #WhistleblowerChief #TrumpLawsuits #ExecutiveOrders #JudicialIndependence #LegalProceedings #OfficeOfSpecialCounsel #TrumpFirings #USPolitics #CourtRuling Also Read Marco Rubio Observes Deportation Flight in Panama as Trump Administration Focuses on Immigration Policy :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/rubio-deportation-flight-panama-immigration-crackdown-011-4061361.html?ref=DMDesc Ukrainian President Zelenskyy Looks Forward to Meeting with Trump Administration Officials :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/zelenskyy-hopes-for-in-person-meeting-with-trump-administration-011-4060043.html?ref=DMDesc Howard Lutnick, Trump's Commerce Secretary Nominee, Commits to Selling Business Interests Within 90 Days :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/howard-lutnick-commerce-secretary-nominee-business-divestment-011-4056959.html?ref=DMDesc
