US EditionJudge orders Trump administration to reinstate Education Department employees
- A federal judge in Boston ordered the Trump administration to reinstate Education Department employees laid off in March 2025 as part of plans to dismantle the agency.
- The ruling followed lawsuits by school districts, the American Federation of Teachers, and other groups alleging that the layoffs illegally shuttered the department and blocked its congressional duties.
- The judge found the layoffs jeopardized essential services for vulnerable students, delayed access to vital knowledge, and caused financial uncertainty within the department.

- The decision blocks the administration’s efforts to restructure the agency, marking a setback to President Trump’s campaign promise to close the department, though the administration plans to challenge the ruling.
