Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson said they would deny Mr. Trump 's bid for relief.

Justices Neil Gorsuch and Samuel Alito dissented.

A key issue is whether the temporary restraining order could be appealed by the Justice Department .

Hampton Dellinger is the head of the Office of Special Counsel , an agency that protects whistleblowers.

Dellinger's firing came as part of the president's efforts to overhaul the federal government.

Since returning to the presidency for a second term, Mr. Trump has removed the heads of the National Labor Relations Board and fired more than a dozen agency watchdogs, all of which have sparked legal challenges.
