The court’s action essentially extended an order Chief Justice John Roberts issued in April that had the effect of removing two board members who Trump fired from agencies that deal with labor issues, including one with a key role for federal workers as Trump aims to drastically downsize the workforce.

It's a win for Trump's efforts to control agencies meant by Congress to be independent from the president, but the court could exempt the Fed.

The order, which drew a sharp dissent from the three liberal justices, powerfully endorsed President Donald Trump’s authority over the federal bureaucracy.
