A group of 20 Democratic-led states, along with the District of Columbia, have filed a lawsuit to block President Trump’s plan to cut 1,300 jobs at the US Department of Education. The lawsuit, filed on Thursday, March 13, 2025, claims the layoffs would dismantle the department, impair its core functions, and affect crucial services like federal student loan oversight and civil rights enforcement. The states are seeking an injunction to halt the proposed cuts and prevent the department’s collapse.
