President Donald Trump ‘s executive order to facilitate the closure of the U.S. Education Department is met with protests and court challenges. Elon Musk focuses his attention on the Pentagon, where Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on social media that the billionaire cost-cutter will discuss 鈥渋nnovation, efficiencies & smarter production.” Leaders at dozens of universities facing Trump administration investigations scramble to distance themselves from a nonprofit that helped Black and Latino students pursue business degrees.

Judge calls Trump administration鈥檚 latest response on deportation flights 鈥榳oefully insufficient鈥�

U.S. District Judge Jeb Boasberg demanded answers from the Trump administration after flights carrying Venezuelan immigrants alleged by the Trump administration to be gang members landed in El Salvador after the judge temporarily blocked deportations under an 18th century wartime law.

Boasberg had given the administration until noon Thursday to either provide more details about the flights or make a claim that it must be withheld because it would harm 鈥渟tate secrets.鈥� The administration resisted the judge鈥檚 request, calling it an 鈥渦nnecessary judicial fishing鈥� expedition.

In a written order, Boasberg called Trump officials鈥� latest response 鈥渨oefully insufficient.鈥� The judge said the administration 鈥渁gain evaded its obligations鈥� by merely repeating 鈥渢he same general information about the flights.鈥� And he ordered the administration to 鈥渟how cause,鈥� as to why it didn鈥檛 violate his court order to turn around the planes, increasing the prospect that he may consider holding administration officials in contempt of court.

Maine found in violation of Title IX over transgender athletes after Trump clashed with governor

Maine鈥檚 education office is being ordered to ban transgender athletes from girls鈥� and women鈥檚 sports or face federal prosecution.

The Education Department on Wednesday said an investigation concluded Maine鈥檚 education office violated the Title IX antidiscrimination law by allowing transgender girls to compete on girls鈥� sports teams and use girls鈥� facilities. It鈥檚 giving Maine 10 days to comply with a list of demands or face Justice Department prosecution.

During the heated exchange, Mills told the Republican president, 鈥淲e鈥檒l see you in court.鈥�

Facing anti-DEI investigations, colleges cut ties with nonprofit targeted by conservatives

Last week, the Education Department said it was investigating dozens of universities for alleged racial discrimination, citing ties to the nonprofit organization. That followed a warning a month earlier that schools could lose federal money over 鈥渞ace-based preferences鈥� in admissions, scholarships or any aspect of student life.

The investigations left some school leaders startled and confused, wondering what prompted the inquiries. Many scrambled to distance themselves from The PhD Project, which has aimed to help diversify the business world and higher education faculty.

The rollout of the investigations highlights the climate of fear and uncertainty in higher education, which President Donald Trump鈥檚 administration has begun policing for policies that run afoul of his agenda even as he moves to dismantle the Education Department.

Trump鈥檚 plan to dismantle the Education Department will keep some of its core functions

Trump has derided the Education Department as wasteful and polluted by liberal ideology. However, completing its dismantling is most likely impossible without an act of Congress, which created the department in 1979. Republicans said they will introduce legislation to achieve that, while Democrats have quickly lined up to oppose the idea.

Trump鈥檚 order says the education secretary will, 鈥渢o the maximum extent appropriate and permitted by law, take all necessary steps to facilitate the closure of the Department of Education and return authority over education to the States and local communities.鈥�

It offers no detail on how that work will be carried out or where it will be targeted, though the White House said the agency will retain certain critical functions.

Trump said his administration will close the department beyond its 鈥渃ore necessities,鈥� preserving its responsibilities for Title I funding for low-income schools, Pell grants and money for children with disabilities.
