A U.S. judge on Wednesday blocked President Donald Trump's administration from shutting down Job Corps, a major residential job training program for low-income youth. U.S. District Judge Andrew Carter in Manhattan said the abrupt shuttering of the 60-year-old program by the U.

Earlier this month, another federal judge directed the Labor Department to cease removing Job Corps students from housing, terminating jobs or otherwise suspending the nationwide program without congressional approval.

The fallout continues from the government’s decision to pause a taxpayer-funded training program for low-income students. A federal judge ruled that Job Corps centers can stay open while a lawsuit against the government plays out.
