The Trump administration's move to shutter the nation's largest job training program for low-income youth has been blocked — at least for now — by a federal judge.

Why it matters: Job Corps, which served over 29,000 students this year, has long been a lifeline for low-income youth — especially in underserved communities — offering job training, housing, and a path forward.

The program was set to shutter June 30. Wednesday's federal court decision temporarily halts those closures, offering reprieve for students, staff and cities nationwide.

Driving the news: U.S. District Judge Andrew Carter ruled that the administration lacked congressional authority to abruptly terminate the 60-year-old program, issuing a preliminary injunction while the lawsuit proceeds.

What they're saying: The National Job Corps Association said Wednesday's preliminary injunction "is a lifeline."

"It returns some stability to students who were displaced — some living in shelters — and to the communities that rely on Job Corps for skilled workers."

1. the people who would sneer JUST GET A JOB

are the same folk who really don't care for anything that helps people achieve this goal

2. Insanity.

The richest nation in the history of the world can't afford basic job-training for the neediest for its citizens?

Bullshit.

What we can't afford is trillions of dollars in tax breaks and giveaways to the least needy people in the world.

There are about one thousand people in this country that are eating the lunch of all the rest of us.

And those greedy, destructive people will not be found in the parking lot of Home Depot trying to find work.

One billionaire is more dangerous to this country than ten million undocumented immigrants.
