💨 Abstract

A federal judge granted an injunction preventing the U.S. Department of Labor from shutting down Job Corps, a program for low-income youth. Judge Andrew Carter directed the Labor Department to halt its attempts to remove students from housing and terminate jobs without congressional approval. This decision follows criticisms of the program's effectiveness and cost. Opponents argue that the sudden closure would displace thousands of young people and disrupt their lives.
