US EditionTrump administration asks Supreme Court to leave mass layoffs at Education Department in place
- The Trump administration asked the U.S. Supreme Court on June 6, 2025, to maintain mass layoffs of nearly 1,400 Education Department employees in Boston.
- This request came after Judge Myong Joun in Boston issued a preliminary court order on May 22 that halted the layoffs and paused the wider effort to dismantle the agency.
- Two consolidated lawsuits, including one by 21 Democratic attorneys general and Massachusetts school districts with teachers’ unions, claim the layoffs cripple federal duties like financial aid and civil rights enforcement.
- Solicitor General D. John Sauer argued that the layoffs implement a policy to streamline the department by removing discretionary functions better left to states and that Joun overstepped judicial authority.
- The Supreme Court’s decision on this matter will affect the Administration’s ability to continue its planned reduction, while the department remains legally constrained from further layoffs pending court rulings.
