Supreme Court ruling on Trump administration's ability to fire federal agency head

The U.S. Supreme Court did not interfere with a lower court decision that temporarily blocked the Trump administration from firing the head of a federal agency. The dispute arose when Trump fired Hampton Dellinger, head of the Office of the Special Counsel, an independent agency charged with protecting federal employees' rights. The Supreme Court held the matter in abeyance until Feb. 26, when the lower court's ruling is set to expire.
