Supreme Court lets Trump move forward with firing hundreds of Education Department workers

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court gave the Trump administration the green light Monday to forge ahead with layoffs of more than 1,300 workers at the Department of Education and continue its effort to dismantle the agency completely. In an unsigned order, the justices lifted a Boston federal judge’s ruling that blocked the firings and ordered the White House to hire back those who had already been dismissed. All three of the court’s liberal justices dissented from the order, which sends the dispute back to the Boston-based 1st Circuit Court of Appeals.
