An appeals court recently ruled that two federal agency board members, Merit Systems Protection Board member Cathy Harris and National Labor Relations Board member Gwynne Wilcox, will be reinstated after being fired by President Donald Trump.

President Donald Trump’s administration asked the Supreme Court to roll back its decision to block the deportation of Venezuelans to a notorious prison in El Salvador, arguing that the early-morning order was overbroad and premature.

In a series of narrow and technical rulings, the justices have seemed to take pains to avoid a showdown with a president who has challenged the judiciary’s legitimacy.
