The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday lifted a federal judge’s injunction that had blocked the Donald Trump administration from continuing its downsizing of the Department of Education, clearing the path for mass layoffs affecting nearly 1,400 workers and the potential transfer of key functions to other agencies.
What Happened: The court’s brief, unsigned order represented another victory for Trump’s broader government efficiency initiative. The three liberal justices dissented from the majority decision, reported The Guardian.
