Live updates: Supreme Court lets Trump fire agency heads, a dramatic expansion of presidential power
President Donald Trump has won and lost some as the Supreme Court wraps its final week of a term focused on executive power. The justices said Monday that Trump can fire leaders of independent agencies with one exception, ruling that central banker Lisa Cook can keep her job at the Federal Reserve for now. The court said states can count late-arriving mailed ballots, rejecting a Trump-led challenge. It declined to consider Trump’s push to toss a $5 million jury verdict that he sexually abused writer E. Jean Carroll. And it turned away Trump defender Alan Dershowitz’s effort to rewrite the U.S. libel law standards.
The birthright citizenship order, which Trump signed on the first day of his second term, is part of his administration’s broad immigration crackdown.
