The US Supreme Court has allowed President Donald Trump's plan to proceed with mass layoffs at the Department of Education, lifting a lower court ruling that had paused the plan. The decision, made without a signed order, enables the department to immediately resume its plans to shrink its workforce. The layoffs are part of Trump's effort to dismantle the department, which was created by Congress during the Carter administration. Justice Sonia Sotomayor dissented, calling the decision 'indefensible' and warning of a threat to the Constitution's separation of powers.

The Trump administration has fired 15 more immigration judges, despite Congress allocating $3 billion to the Justice Department to hire more judges and alleviate the growing case backlog of nearly 4 million cases. The fired judges were at the end of their two-year probationary period and were not given a reason for their termination. The move has been criticized by the union representing immigration judges, who argue it is hypocritical to fire judges while trying to speed up deportations.

The U.S. Supreme Court has allowed the Trump administration to continue dismantling the U.S. Department of Education, despite a lower court injunction blocking the move. The court's unsigned decision stayed a preliminary injunction issued by a federal judge in Massachusetts, which had directed the administration to stop gutting the department and reinstate nearly 1,400 laid-off workers. The ruling is not final, as the case continues through the lower courts, but it deals a blow to states and school districts who worry that the damage done to the department will be irreversible.

The Supreme Court has allowed the Trump administration to proceed with firing over 1,300 Education Department employees, effectively gutting the department. The decision is a significant victory for the administration and expands presidential power, allowing the dismantling of a government department created by Congress without legislative input. The move is expected to have severe consequences for the country's students, potentially delaying or denying educational opportunities and leaving them vulnerable to discrimination and civil rights violations.
