Supreme Court Approves Trump’s Plan to Cut Education Department Staff
(MENAFN) The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday cleared the way for the Trump administration to proceed with its controversial plan to dismantle the Department of Education, overturning a lower court’s attempt to halt the process. In a decisive 6-3 emergency ruling, the high court suspended a preliminary injunction that had been issued by a U.S. district judge earlier this year, which sought to reverse the administration’s mass layoffs at the department.
Back in May, U.S. District Judge Myong Joun, based in Boston, mandated that the Trump administration reinstate nearly 1,400 employees who were dismissed amid sweeping cuts at the Department of Education. The judge’s order aimed to halt the abrupt workforce reductions and preserve the agency’s operations as legal challenges unfolded.
However, the Supreme Court’s intervention on Monday effectively nullified that directive, allowing the administration to continue with the terminations and advance its broader effort to significantly downsize the department. This ruling signals a critical victory for the Trump administration, underscoring the judiciary’s willingness to side with executive actions affecting federal agencies despite ongoing legal disputes.
