A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from firing thousands of Department of Education workers and from carrying out an executive order President Donald Trump signed in March, directing the Secretary of Education to take all steps to bring the department to an end.
US District Judge Myong Joun blocked the Trump administration from carrying out a March 11 reduction in force, Trump’s March 20 executive order directing the Secretary of Education to take "all necessary steps to facilitate the closure of the Department of Education," and Trump’s March 21 order directing the transfer of federal student loan management to the Small Business Administration.
Those employees who had already been fired as a result of the reduction-in-force order were required to be reinstated, Joun ruled.
