WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump plans to sign an executive order Thursday calling for the shutdown of the U.S. Education Department, according to a White House official, advancing a campaign promise to eliminate an agency that’s been a longtime target of conservatives.

The administration has already cut the agency’s workforce by nearly half. Totally shutting down the agency would require congressional action.

The Justice Department is resisting a federal judge’s demand for more information about flights that took deportees to El Salvador.

A federal judge is giving the Justice Department until Wednesday at noon to provide him, under seal, with more information about deportations the Trump administration carried out pursuant to President Donald Trump’s use of a sweeping wartime authority.
