WASHINGTON — The United States Supreme Court (SC) on Monday, July 14, 2025, allowed the Trump administration to proceed with its plan to dismantle the Department of Education after lifting a preliminary injunction issued by a US district judge in May.
In a 6-3 emergency ruling, the SC lifted the district judge’s order to reinstate employees who were terminated during mass layoffs.
On May 22, Boston-based US District Judge Myong Joun ordered the Trump administration to reinstate nearly 1,400 workers affected by the layoffs at the department. / XINHUA
