The Trump administration is appealing to the Supreme Court to pause a federal judge's ruling that reinstates nearly 1,400 Education Department employees who were laid off as part of efforts to dismantle the agency. Judge Myong Joun's injunction has halted a key aspect of Trump's restructuring plans, arguing that the layoffs might cripple the department's critical functions like special education and civil rights enforcement. Meanwhile, the administration contends that the judge overstepped his authority and that such layoffs are essential for streamlining operations.
The layoffs will likely cripple the department, according to U.S. District Judge Myong Joun. His injunction effectively stalls Trump's plan to dismantle the Education Department.
Solicitor General D. John Sauer argued that the judge was substituting his policy preferences for those of the Trump administration, undermining the administration's restructuring plans.
