A federal judge from the Boston area, Myong Joun, made a significant move regarding one of President Donald Trump's campaign promises with a ruling announced on Thursday.
HALTING THE DECISION TO CLOSE THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
Judge Joun halted the implementation of Trump's executive order to close the Department of Education, stopping the process of shutting down the department. Additionally, he ruled that approximately 1,300 department employees who were laid off during this process should return to their positions.
"TRUMP HAS NO AUTHORITY"
In his ruling, the judge stated the legal opinion that the Trump administration does not have the authority to close the department unilaterally. While there has been no statement from the White House regarding the decision, it is expected that the Trump administration will appeal the ruling.
DECISION TO LEAVE EDUCATION TO THE STATES
President Trump announced on March 20 that he had initiated the process to close the Department of Education with an executive order, stating that educational processes would be completely left to the states.
