The Supreme Court cleared the way for mass Education Department layoffs, bolstering President Donald Trump’s federal workforce cuts while legal battles continue.

The court has supported his administration on issues like immigration, federal employee dismissals and military policies.

Critics warn mass layoffs will weaken civil rights enforcement, leaving marginalized youth — including students of color, LGBTQ+ students, and those with disabilities — without federal protections.

Washington — The Supreme Court spent much of its most recent term responding to a fire hose of requests for emergency relief sought by the Trump administration, as President Trump's efforts to implement key aspects of his second-term agenda were stymied by lower courts on several fronts.

The Supreme Court’s decision to let Team Trump fire hundreds of Education Department employees hands him — and the nation — a double-barreled score.
