- The injunction keeps Northlands Job Corps open, protecting 110 jobs and providing relief to students amid ongoing legal battles.
- Judge Carter's June 27 injunction allows Northlands Job Corps to stay open, while ongoing legal and funding battles threaten the program's future until at least mid-2026.
