U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell ruled that former President Donald Trump's dismissal of Gwynne Wilcox from the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) was unlawful, ordering her reinstatement. The decision criticized Trump's expansion of executive power, particularly through the unitary executive theory, and emphasized the constitutional limits on presidential authority to remove NLRB members. This ruling highlights the importance of checks and balances in the federal government and underscores the judiciary's role in maintaining the independence of agencies like the NLRB.
