District Judge, Myong Joun, has Blocked Trump’s (R) Executive Order to Close the Department of Education (DoE) and Re-Instate Hundreds of laid-off Employees. Judge Joun Ruled Staff Reductions Hinder the Department's ability to Fulfill its Mandated Functions. This Ruling Challenges Education Secretary Linda McMahon's (R) Efforts to Dismantle the Agency.
Madi Biedermann (R), Deputy Assistant Secretary for Communications for the Education Department, noted that the Agency would Challenge the Ruling on an Emergency Basis. She Argued that the Court Exceeds its Authority and Interferes with Legitimate efforts to Improve Departmental Efficiency, but Trump (R) Signed an Executive Order directing McMahon to start Dismantling the Education Department..
The Plaintiffs in the Case, comprised of the Somerville and Easthampton School Districts in Massachusetts, and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), demonstrated that Layoffs caused sSgnificant Delays in Federal Funding. They effectively Eliminated Essential Offices within the Federal Student Aid Office, Jeopardizing the Functionality of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) system.
Joun wrote, “The Department’s Actions have directly Impacted the FAFSA system and Risk its functionality.” The Ruling also Halts Trump’s Directive to Transfer Student Loans and Programs for Students with Disabilities Outside the (DoE). The Trump Administration is expected to Appeal, while Asserting that Dismantling the Department will Adhere to Legal Standards.
