What legal challenges is the Trump administration facing over mass federal layoffs?

The Trump administration is facing over 70 lawsuits regarding mass layoffs at federal agencies including the FAA, CDC, and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Former employees like Elizabeth Anaskevich report being terminated without proper information about unemployment benefits or health insurance termination, describing the situation as 'angering and heartbreaking.' A key case has reached the Supreme Court on an emergency basis, involving the firing of Hampton Dellinger, head of the Office of Special Counsel. The legal issue centers on whether the president can fire such officials without cause, as the law establishing this office states they can only be terminated 'for cause.' Lower courts have temporarily blocked some firings, questioning their legality.
