In a 6-3 decision along ideological lines, the Supreme Court paused a lower court order that had reinstated 1,400 Education Department employees laid off by the Trump's administration.

The Supreme Court is allowing President Donald Trump to put his plan to dismantle the Education Department back on track and go through with laying off nearly 1,400 employees.

The Department of Education laid off roughly 1,400 employees in March and a federal judge paused the move. The Supreme Court now says it was permissible.
