A federal appeals court has upheld a lower-court injunction preventing President Trump's administration from executing an executive order aimed at dismantling the U.S. Department of Education. This decision follows lawsuits from Democratic-led states and teachers' unions concerning the mass termination of over 1,300 employees. Trump's initiative aimed to shift educational responsibilities to states, but has encountered significant legal challenges. The Department of Justice sought to expedite a ruling to escalate the case to the U.S. Supreme Court, motivated by the layoffs planned under Secretary Linda McMahon's guidance.
"The 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the Trump administration's request to put on hold an injunction issued by a lower-court judge last week."
"The lawsuits were filed after Secretary of Education Linda McMahon announced plans for a mass termination of over 1,300 employees, which cut the department's staff by half."
