On Wednesday, a federal judge put a temporary halt to the closure of most Job Corps sites, including the one in Phoenix.
The decision comes after the federal Department of Labor announced its suspension of most Job Corps centers.
Students were told they had to move out this week.
KJZZ reached out to Phoenix’s Job Corps Center for comment but did not hear back.
A Department of Labor spokesperson told KJZZ that “the Department of Labor is working closely with the Department of Justice to evaluate and comply with the temporary restraining order.”
A hearing is scheduled for June 17 to decide if the block will stay in place.
How federal cuts impact Arizona
-
FEMA has awarded about $700,000 to Arizona and the Havasupai Tribe to fund hazard mitigation projects. The money came from a program the federal agency had nixed but was reinstated by the courts earlier this year. -
Phoenix households cut from SNAP can apply for a $600 credit toward their APS or SRP electric bill and $100 for gas or public transportation. -
Planned Parenthood Arizona clinics are once again providing care for patients insured through Medicaid. Services for Medicaid patients had been on pause since September. -
The U.S. Agriculture Department says Arizona’s error rate for food stamp applications was 10.8%; that’s higher than the national rate of 10.6%. If that number doesn’t come down, it’ll cost the state in penalties, thanks to provisions in the "Big Beautiful Bill Act." -
In addition to refugees and asylum seekers, H.R. 1 ended SNAP eligibility for other immigrants who lack permanent resident status, including survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking.
