Ranking Member Robert Garcia’s Statement on SCOTUS Decision to Gut Federal Workforce

Washington, D.C.— Today, Rep. Robert Garcia, Ranking Member of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, issued a statement following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to allow the Trump Administration to resume mass firings of federal workers. 

“The Trump-appointed Supreme Court just surrendered to a dangerous vision for America, letting the administration gut federal agencies by firing expert civil servants.  The damage from these mass firings will last for decades, and weaken the government’s ability to respond to disasters and provide essential benefits and services.  Oversight Democrats will not sit back as Trump turns the Court into a political weapon.  We will keep fighting to protect the American people and prevent the destruction of our federal agencies.”
