US EditionTrump administration asks Supreme Court to leave mass layoffs at Education Department in place
- Last month, a federal judge in Boston issued a preliminary injunction that halted the layoffs of nearly 1,400 Education Department staff members and temporarily suspended the broader plan to dismantle the agency.
- The injunction arose from two consolidated lawsuits filed by Massachusetts school districts, education groups, and 21 Democratic attorneys general claiming the layoffs cripple the department's statutory duties.
- The Trump administration maintained that the layoffs align with its goal of reducing the department's size and removing certain responsibilities that it believes should be managed by state governments, while the court found that these job cuts would likely severely harm the agency's operations.
- The Justice Department argued in an emergency appeal to the Supreme Court that Judge Joun overstepped his authority by imposing his own policy judgments instead of those of the Trump administration.
- The administration is seeking intervention from the Supreme Court after an appeals court declined to stay the injunction, aiming to proceed with additional layoffs and the dismantling of the Education Department.
