Summary of the opening
Good morning and welcome to the American Live Policy Blog. I am Tom Ambrose and I will bring you all the last news on Friday morning.
We start with the news that President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Thursday calling for the dismantling of the Education DepartmentRepublicans in the agency talked about the closure for decades.
The matter says that the Minister of Education, Linda McMahon, will do, “to the maximum appropriate extent and allows the law to take all the steps necessary to facilitate the closure of the Ministry of Education and the return of power to education to the states and local communities.”
I mentioned a.
In the weeks that passed from his post, the Trump administration has already reduced the administration’s employees in half and replaced many of the department’s work.
Trump’s adviser, Elon Musk, has efficiently reduced dozens of contracts that she rejected as “wake up” and wasted. The Education Science Institute, which collects data on the academic progress of the nation, has faded.
The main role of the agency is financial. Annually, billions of federal funds are distributed to colleges and schools and runs a federal student loan portfolio. The closure of the administration means the redistribution of each of these duties to another agency.
The Ministry of Education also plays an important regulatory role in students, starting with persons with disabilities to low -income and homeless children.

Main events
A federal judge in the Trump administration on Thursday explains the reason for his knowledge of the flights carrying the departments to El Salvador, who did not violate his order from the court in a growing confrontation between the judicial and executive branches.
James Boasberg, the American boycott judge, demanded answers after flights carrying Vinzuelin migrants claimed by the Trump administration to be members of the gang who landed in El Salvador after the judge prohibited deportations under the war of the eighteenth century. Boasberg had directed the administration to return the aircraft that were already in the air to the United States when it was suspended.
Boasberg gave the administration until Thursday noon to provide more details about flights or claim that they should be withheld because they will harm the “state secrets”. The administration resisted the judge’s request, describing it as a “unnecessary judicial hunting” mission.
