The Supreme Court on Monday said President Donald Trump may proceed with his plan to carry out mass layoffs at the Department of Education in the latest win for the White House at the conservative high court.

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.

The Supreme Court on Monday lifted an injunction against the Trump administration's efforts to gut the Department of Education. The move allows the administration to proceed with mass firings that slashed nearly half of the agency's workforce in March.
