On Monday, the Supreme Court granted President Donald Trump another significant victory, approving mass layoffs at the Department of Education and enabling the administration to proceed with its plans to reestablish state control over schools.
In a brief, unsigned order, the justices paused a lower court ruling that had blocked Trump’s plan indefinitely. That lower court decision is now on hold while the case plays out—meaning the layoffs can begin immediately,” CNN reported.
Within hours, the Department of Education dispatched termination notices to employees who had faced layoffs in April, only to have a judge reinstate them. CNN obtained one of the emails, which told employees they would officially be out of a job on August 1.
