US EditionJudge orders Trump administration to reinstate Education Department employees
- U.S. District Judge Myong Joun issued a preliminary injunction on May 23, 2025, ordering the Trump administration to reinstate Education Department employees dismissed in mass layoffs in Boston.
- The injunction was issued after lawsuits were filed by various educational organizations, among them the American Federation of Teachers, which contended that the layoffs were an unlawful attempt to shut down the department without approval from Congress.
- Judge Joun found that layoffs and restructuring would cause irreparable harm by disrupting essential services for vulnerable students and impeding access to vital educational resources.
- The lawsuits targeted approximately 1,300 job cuts announced in March as part of an effort to halve the department’s workforce, while a White House representative defended the legality of the orders and expressed confidence in a favorable outcome on appeal.
- This ruling blocks a key Trump campaign promise to downsize the Department of Education and suggests prolonged litigation, as the administration intends to challenge the court's decision.
