Federal Appeals Court (For Now) Sides with Biden Judge Who Blocked Trump From Dismantling Department of Education

The First Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday (for now) sided with the Biden judge who blocked the Trump Administration from dismantling the Department of Education.

Last Thursday a federal judge 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 last Thursday.

“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.

The Trump DOJ appealed Judge Joun’s injunction and the First Circuit Court of Appeals denied their request for an immediate administrative stay.

However, the appeals court said it intends to rule on the DOJ’s request for a stay pending appeal promptly.
