Temporary restraining order prevents shutdown of Job Corps, including in Sierra Nevada


LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — A temporary restraining order from federal court will prevent the Department of Labor from shutting down the Job Corps program, according to program officials.

A lawsuit filed on June 3 by the National Job Corps Association in response to the Department of Labor’s attempt to terminate Job Corps, which NJCA said “argues that these actions were taken without proper involvement from Congress and violated several legal standards.”

According to the NJCA, the temporary restraining order was issued on June 4. They said that On June 17, the order would be extended through June 25 while further decisions were decided upon. Approval would “prevent the DOL from moving forward with any closures or contract terminations while the case is resolved, either through the court or settlement.”

In a statement from the NJCA, the Sierra Nevada Job Corps location “is open and continues to serve the heartbeat of the program, the students,” and that returning students can contact the Center for assistance with re-entry into the program.

LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — The 152nd Airlift Wing of the Nevada Air National Guard out of Reno has been activated to help fight fires throughout the western U.S.

The “High Rollers” C-130 aircraft is equipped with a Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System. It joins the 146th Airlift Wing “Hollywood Guard” out of California in its response.

“The 152nd Airlift Wing, Nevada Air National Guard, is honored to once again answer the call in defense of our fellow Americans,” said Col. Catherine Grush, the Commander of the 152nd Airlift Wing. “Fighting wildfires from the air is demanding and dangerous work, but our Airmen take immense pride in serving alongside our civilian partners to protect homes, communities, and the people of Nevada. This mission hits close to home—and we’re all in.”

The High Rollers were activated along with other airborne firefighting units earlier this year to support the fires in the greater Los Angeles area.
