Supreme Court Expands Presidential Authority to Dismiss Regulators

The Supreme Court has ruled that the President has the authority to fire federal regulators, while also determining that the dismissal of Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook was unconstitutional. Additionally, the court declined to hear an appeal regarding the $5 million verdict in the E. Jean Carroll case. The court's decisions were announced as part of its final opinions for the term. Last week, the court issued significant rulings favoring the Trump administration on immigration issues, including allowing the administration to block asylum seekers at the US-Mexico border and stripping temporary protected status from certain groups. These rulings have drawn criticism from various advocacy groups.
