The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday cleared the way for Donald Trump's administration to pursue mass government job cuts and the sweeping downsizing of numerous agencies, a decision that could lead to tens of thousands of layoffs while dramatically reshaping the federal bureaucracy.

Before Tuesday, a district court had barred the Trump administration from firing federal employees en masse as his executive order calling for “large-scale reductions in force” undergoes legal challenges.

The Supreme Court opened the way for the Trump administration to continue mass layoffs in the federal workforce in an emergency ruling Tuesday. The court’s decision lifts a lower court ruling that blocked the layoffs at government agencies that President Donald Trump initiated in a February executive order.

Experts voice concerns that current measures could change "the National Park System irreparably for future generations."
