Court Blocks Trump's Plan to Dismantle Education Department | JQJO

A Massachusetts federal court blocked President Trump's executive order to dismantle the Department of Education and transfer its student loan portfolio. The court deemed the administration's actions unlawful, citing the need for Congressional approval. The ruling also mandates the reinstatement of fired employees. The decision comes after states, school districts, and unions challenged the administration's efforts. While the administration may appeal, the court will oversee compliance, and the House Republicans' separate bill to reshape the student loan system adds further complexity.
