Supreme Court allows Trump to lay off nearly 1,400 Education Department employees

UNITED STATES, JUL 14 – The Supreme Court allowed layoffs of nearly 1,400 Education Department employees despite objections that the move aims to dismantle the agency without Congressional approval.

  • On Monday, the Supreme Court permitted President Donald Trump to move forward with plans to terminate approximately 1,400 staff members at the Department of Education.
  • This followed U.S. District Judge Myong Joun's preliminary injunction that had reversed the layoffs and blocked the broader plan to dismantle the department pending legal challenges.
  • The layoffs, ordered earlier this year, halved the department's workforce, with workers placed on paid leave since March and none yet reinstated under the court's order.
  • Education Secretary Linda McMahon described the court ruling as an important achievement for students and families, assuring that funding will be prioritized to benefit educators, parents, and learners.
  • The ruling enables the administration to resume dismantling the agency, a key Trump campaign promise, though critics warn the layoffs may cripple essential federal education functions.
