US EditionFederal Judge Orders US Labor Department to Keep Job Corps Running During Lawsuit
- On June 25, 2025, a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction preventing the nationwide closure of Job Corps Centers, including the facility in Shreveport, Louisiana, by the federal agency overseeing the program.
- This action followed the Department of Labor's May 29, 2025 decision to begin closing all Job Corps Centers amid budget deficit concerns and political opposition.
- After reopening on June 9, Shreveport's Job Corps enrolled 285 students, but only about half returned due to housing insecurities and community impacts.
- The Fiscal Year 2025 Continuing Resolution allocates $1,760,155,000 for Job Corps, and Judge Carter stated the Department must enforce Congress's funding decisions as intended.
- The injunction and congressional support suggest Job Corps operations will continue while lawmakers and advocates urge faithful implementation and reopening of all centers.
