The judge stops the dismantling of the educational department, orders released the reinstatement of the employees

A federal judge in Massachusetts issued an injunction on Thursday that blocked the Trump administration by reducing the Ministry of Education and the order to reinstate employees.

“The recording is plentiful that the true intent of the accused is to effectively reduce the department without the approval law,” the US district judge Myong Joun wrote and found that the department cannot be closed without the consent of the congress. “

The judge said that an injunction was necessary because “the supportive explanations of former department employees, educational institutions, unions and educators paint a strong picture of irreparable damage, which will result from financial uncertainties and delays, disabled access to important knowledge, and the loss of essential services for the most endangered students in America.”

Before the mass fires or the reduction in violence, “the department already had difficulty achieving its goals. It is therefore only reasonable to expect that a RIF of this size will probably paralyze the department,” wrote Joun.

A spokesman for the educational department, Madi Biedermann, said the officials “will immediately challenge this in an emergency base”.

Harrison Fields, a spokesman for the White House, said in a statement that the “President and his Minister of Education have the legal authority to make decisions on the restructuring of the agency, and the decision of the left judge cannot change this reality.

The administration submitted an appeal on Thursday afternoon.

The In March, shots were announced by 1,300 employees after President Donald Trump undertook to close the department and days before he directed an executive Minister Linda McMahon to “enable all the necessary steps to facilitate the closure of the Ministry of Education,” said the judge.

In her hearing for confirmation, McMahon said that the administration would not try to abolish the department without statutory approval from the congress, and said she would present a plan with which the senators could go on board.

“We want to do that right,” she said, adding that the department switched off “certainly requires measures in the congress”.

The judge wrote that the administration also recognized in court files that “the department cannot be closed without the consent of the congress, but at the same time say that their legislative goals (the preservation of the approval of the congress to close the department) distinguish from their administrative goals (improvement in efficiency).”

“There is nothing in the recording to support these contradictory positions,” added the judge.

“There is not only no evidence that the defendants pursue a” legislative goal “or work together with the congress in other ways to achieve a decision, but there is also no evidence that the RIF has actually made the department more efficient. Rather, the protocol is with evidence of the opposite,” he wrote.

While the administration says that the reduction of the power was implemented “about” efficiency “and” accountability “, the judge wrote that the” recording is abundant that the true intentions of the defendants are effectively disassembling the department without authorizing an approval statute “.

He ordered the administration not to implement Trump's order and said that it had to restore the federal employees whose employment was terminated on or after January 20. The judge said these steps were necessary to “restore the department in the status quo, so it was able to perform its legal functions”.

It also blocks the department “The execution of the president's guideline on March 21, 2025 to transfer the management of federal loans and special education from the department”.

Biedermann, the spokesman for the educational department, has blown the judge into an explanation and said that the judgment was “not in the best interest of American students or families”.

“Once again, a far left -wing judge has dramatically exceeded his authority based on a complaint from biased plaintiffs and an injunction against the obviously lawful efforts to make the Ministry of Education more efficient and more functional for the American people,” says the explanation.

“President Trump and the Minister of Senate for Minister of Education clearly have the authority to make decisions about the agency's reorganization efforts, not a judge not elected with a political ax to grind,” added Biedermann.

Randi Weingarten, the President of the American Federation of Teachers, one of the plaintiffs in the case, praised the judgment of which she said “rightly rejected one of the first illegal and consistent acts of the government: the abolition of the federal role in education.”

“This decision is a first step to reverse this war against the knowledge and undergrowth of broad -based opportunities,” she said in an explanation.
