A federal judge has ruled against President Trump's attempt to dismantle the Department of Education (DOE), asserting that such actions cannot proceed without congressional approval. US District Judge Myong Joun emphasized that recent mass firings at the DOE were an attempt to shut it down, rather than a legitimate reorganization. The Trump administration plans to challenge the ruling, arguing that both the president and Secretary of Education possess authority over agency reorganizations. This decision follows another ruling that blocked the removal of board members on a separate board.
"The idea that Defendants' actions are merely a 'reorganization' is plainly not true."
"Defendants do acknowledge, as they must, that the Department cannot be shut down without Congress's approval."
