The Education Department can move forward with layoffs of around 1,300 employees it previously notified it would cut after the Supreme Court on Monday struck down a court order blocking those reductions from moving forward.

The administration argues that the president does not need additional authorization from Congress to conduct agency-wide layoffs. Attorney General Pam Bondi praised the Supreme Court’s order, saying it “stopped lawless lower courts from restricting President Trump’s authority over federal personnel.”
