A federal judge on Thursday blocked the Trump administration from dismantling the department of education.
In March, President Trump signed an executive order to dismantle the Department of Education.
“We’ve got to get the federal government out of education,” Trump declared. “The Department of Education has become a bloated bureaucracy that’s more interested in pushing its own agenda than in helping our kids learn. It’s time to put the power back in the hands of parents, teachers, and local communities.”

US District Judge Myong Joun, a Biden appointee, issued an injunction blocking the Trump Administration from laying off Department of Education workers.
“This case arises out of an attempt by Defendants to shut down the Department without Congressional approval,” the judge wrote.
Judge Joun ordered the Trump Administration to reinstate the Department of Education workers.
It is therefore ORDERED, until further order of this Court, that:
1. The Agency Defendants are enjoined from carrying out the reduction-in-force announced on March 11, 2025; from implementing President Trump’s March 20, 2025 Executive Order; and from carrying out the President’s March 21, 2025 Directive to transfer management of federal student loans and special education functions out of the Department;
2. The Agency Defendants are enjoined from implementing, giving effect to, or reinstating the March 11, 2025, the President’s March 20, 2025 Executive Order, or the President’s March 21, 2025 Directive under a different name;
3. The Agency Defendants shall reinstate federal employees whose employment was terminated or otherwise eliminated on or after January 20, 2025, as part of the reduction in-force announced on March 11, 2025 to restore the Department to the status quo such that it is able to carry out its statutory functions;
4. The Agency Defendants shall provide notice of this Order of Preliminary Injunction within 24 hours of entry to all their officers, agents, servants, employees, attorneys, and anyone acting in concert with them;
5. The Agency Defendants shall file a status report with this Court within 72 hours of the entry of this Order, describing all steps the Agency Defendants have taken to comply with this Order, and every week thereafter until the Department is restored to the status quo prior to January 20, 2025; and
6. This Preliminary Injunction shall become effective immediately upon entry by this Court. The Preliminary Injunction Order shall remain in effect for the duration of this litigation and until a merits decision has been issued.
