Education Secretary Linda McMahon is expected to move quickly now that the Supreme Court has cleared the way for the Trump administration to continue unwinding her department.

WASHINGTON − An ideologically divided Supreme Court on July 14 allowed the Trump administration to fire hundreds of workers from the Education Department and continue other efforts to dismantle the agency.

Sheria Smith, President of AFGE Local 252 representing Education Dept. employees, talks about the Supreme Court decision giving the go-ahead for mass layoffs, and tells CNN’s Wolf Blitzer how she thinks this move will impact children.

The Supreme Court allowed Trump’s Education Dept. cuts. A top Trump adviser is emerging as the likely next Fed chair. Why it matters: Trump has been critical of Powell’s decision not to lower interest rates, and has indicated the next Fed chair will have to be more responsive to the president’s desires.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is moving ahead with a plan to cut 10,000 jobs after the Supreme Court lifted a pause on the layoffs.

"The President must take care that the laws are faithfully executed, not set out to dismantle them," Sotomayor wrote.

The big tax and spending bill President Trump signed into law earlier this month included $75 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the Supreme Court recently told the administration it could deport people to countries with which they have no ties.

The majority did not explain its decision in the brief, unsigned order. The court's three liberal justices opposed the order. Justice Sonia Sotomayor said the majority handed Trump the power to repeal laws passed by Congress “by firing all those necessary to carry them out.”
