President Donald Trump plans to sign an executive order Thursday “aimed at eliminating” the U.S. Education Department.
On immigration, a federal judge ordered the administration to provide more information about flights that took deportees to El Salvado r, or make a formal “state secrets“ claim.

Trump’s border czar has tallied 40,000 immigration-related arrests since Trump got into office.
