The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed the Trump administration's firing of 16,000 probationary federal employees to go forward, at least for now.

In an unsigned opinion and without addressing the question of whether the terminations themselves were lawful, the court said the nonprofits that brought the case did not have legal standing to sue over federal employees' firings.

The vote was 7 to 2. Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson would have kept the firings paused while the case plays out in the lower courts, according to the order.
