The US Supreme Court in a 5-4 vote on Friday sided with the Trump Administration and blocked a Massachusetts judge’s order requiring it to reinstate $250 million in Department of Education DEI training to eight states.
In an unsigned order, Chief Justice Roberts sided with the liberal justices and would have denied Trump’s emergency application.
Liberal justices Kagan, Jackson and Sotomayor dissented.
The Department of Education argued that the grants violated President Trump’s executive order abolishing Marxist DEI policies.
