Have courts or Congress checked if Education Department cuts follow the bill's rules?

Research question: Has the administration said how it will comply with the omnibus bill's bans on transferring funds and downsizing the Education Department, and has any court or Congress tested those limits?

The verified facts cover court actions over a presidential action against the Education Department, but none mention an omnibus bill, bans on transferring funds, or any administration statement on compliance ¹²³. A Boston district court blocked the presidential action on May 22, 2025, and the administration appealed ¹. A federal appeals court declined to lift that injunction in early June 2025 ². The Supreme Court overturned the lower courts on July 14, 2025, allowing the Education Department layoffs to proceed ³, and that is the newest fact provided, about fifteen months before October 2026, so it does not show later developments.
