US EditionJudge orders Trump administration to reinstate Education Department employees
- A federal judge in Boston issued a preliminary injunction preventing the Trump administration from dismantling the Education Department and ordered that employees dismissed in recent layoffs be reinstated.
- The injunction blocks the enforcement of President Trump’s March 21 order that directs the Education Department to relinquish control over federal student loan management and special education oversight, a move that plaintiffs argue effectively halts critical services.
- Plaintiffs, including school districts and unions, argue mass layoffs and transfers have left the department unable to fulfill statutory duties supporting vulnerable students and distributing financial aid.
- Judge Joun stated the plaintiffs painted a 'stark picture of irreparable harm' due to financial uncertainty, loss of vital knowledge, and disruption of essential services for vulnerable populations.
- The administration intends to promptly contest the court's decision, emphasizing that the layoffs are designed to enhance efficiency, and acknowledges that the full effects of the restructuring on services may continue until the reorganization is complete.
