The article discusses a lawsuit initiated by a coalition of Democratic attorneys general against recent mass layoffs in a federal department, arguing that these layoffs are illegal and unconstitutional. They claim that only Congress has the authority to abolish an agency and that the current restructuring actions, led by McMahon, overstep her legal permissions. Consequently, these layoffs threaten funding and support for K-12 education, particularly for low-income and disabled students, impacting educational opportunities across the involved states.
The lawsuit asserts that "only Congress may abolish an agency it created... She is not permitted to eliminate or disrupt functions required by statute."
