A federal judge in Washington, D.C., has halted the Trump administration's effort to shutter the Job Corps training program the nation's largest residential career training program for thousands of low-income youth becoming the second to do so within the span of a month.
U.S. District Judge Dabney L. Friedrich an appointee of President Donald Trump during his first term on Friday granted the request for a preliminary injunction blocking the closing of 99 Job Corps centers throughout the nation, reasoning that the U.S. Department of Labor's (DOL) unilateral closing of the program, which was created and authorized by Congress, violated federal law.
The case stems from the Labor Department notifying the 99 private Job Corps centers across the nation on May 29, 2025, that they would "cease operations" by June 30.
The lawsuit was filed last month by a group of seven student-enrollees in the Job Corps program hailing from Georgia, Mississippi, Oregon, North Dakota, and Michigan on behalf of themselves as well as the putative class of students enrolled at all 99 centers affected by the program's shuttering.

the Supremely Courrupt 6 will issue a stay of the injunction with no explanation and allow the misadministration to proceed to destroy the program, pending full litigation of the case. Just like theyve done in 15 out of 15 earlier cases theyve ruled on without comment.
