AFL-CIO v. Trump

Case Overview

The case concerns the government's plan for large-scale reductions in force. Plaintiffs argued the administration withheld critical documents under deliberative process privilege, but the Ninth Circuit rejected that defense, finding no evidence disclosure would stifle candid discussions. The court sent the case back to the district court, allowing the challenge to move forward despite a Supreme Court stay awaiting further briefing.
