Judge Blocks Trump Administration Job Corps Centers’ Suspension
- On Wednesday, a federal court halted the Trump administration’s plan to shut down the Cascades Job Corps Center in Sedro-Woolley, permitting the facility to continue its operations.

- Center Director Kendra Watson expressed gratitude for the ongoing support of Job Corps and announced that a hearing to review the case is set for June 17.
- The restraining order preserves the program's operations for now, but advocates and officials continue to oppose the planned closures amid concerns over student welfare and program funding.
