Supreme Court of the United States
Department of Education v. California
April 4, 2025604 U.S. 650
Summary
The Supreme Court granted the Department of Education's emergency application to stay the district court's temporary restraining order, holding that the TRO is appealable as a preliminary injunction, that the APA's sovereign‑immunity waiver does not cover money‑damages or contractual payment orders, and that the respondents are unlikely to suffer irreparable harm. The Court also noted that jurisdiction over the payment aspect lies with the Court of Federal Claims under the Tucker Act.
