The Apprentice at SCOTUS: Justices Skeptical of Trump’s Lisa Cook Argument & Churches Score Legal Win Against ICE
Wednesday, 28 January, 2026
In one of the biggest cases this term, the Trump legal team argues it is within the President's right to fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, even though laws establishing that agency were designed to make it extremely difficult for a president to fire someone willy nilly. Cook was informed she was fired via a Truth Social post for alleged mortgage fraud. But she argues she wasn't even given a chance to defend herself in court. At issue: What would a fair trial for Cook even look like, when the law doesn't specify? And big picture... is the U.S. Supreme Court willing to give Trump much more power to fire whomever he wishes. Plus, as Minnesota reels from the loss of a second Minneapolis resident at the hands of federal immigration officials, churches have scored a major legal win against ICE and CBP.
