The United States judge achieved a temporary victory for President Donald Trump and the song of billionaire technology, Elon Musk, and he is governing a request for a temporary restriction that would slow down their efforts to the federal agency cavity.
The decision of the provincial judge, Tania Chutcan, came on Tuesday as part of the continuous lawsuit filed by 14 states, on the pretext that the government efficiency management (DOGE) has no power to launch federal workers or access sensitive data.
Chutccan concluded that the Musk Legal Authority to carry out fires and cut money was a question, but the states have failed to prove the imminent damage that justifies a restricted matter.
However, she expressed her sympathy for the issue of the states, saying that they “are legally calling to the question what seems to be the authority that is not restricted to the unleashed individual.”
“The unpredictable deeds of Dog lead to the great uncertainty and confusion,” Chutccan wrote, noting that Dog “was not created by Congress” and had little supervision.
It was a rare legal victory for the Trump administration, which has seen many orders to restrict in federal courts to stop their actions.
Since moving from his post, Trump and his allies have quickly moved to the priority of the federal agencies that have long been seen with the conservatives, on the pretext that they are rooted in waste spending and unlimited “fraud”.
Experts and Democrats questioned the legitimacy of some of these moves.
On Tuesday, 14 state lawyers were led. It sought to prevent Duji employees from receiving sensitive information from government departments for work, education, health, humanitarian services, energy, transport and trade, as well as the employee management office.
In the search for a restriction, the United States was also hoping to prevent Doug from launching or putting federal workers on leave.
Their case depends on the argument that Musk and Doge are practicing the powers that must be approved by Congress.
Trump announced the creation of Doug shortly after his re -election in November, saying that its goal is to “dismantle the government bureaucracy, reduce excess regulations, reduce wasted expenditures, and restructure federal agencies.”
Upon his office on January 20, Trump signed Executive order Replace digital service in the United States – an office charged with modernizing government technology – with Doug, and folds it in the executive branch.
The president has signed since then to requestDOGE license made necessary for new appointments in federal agencies. DOGE has also sought to access data via agencies, including the US Treasury, Social Security and Internal Revenue Service.
Critics warn that this unrestricted access to information can create a conflict of interests of musk, whose competitors in business may be among the data collected. They also argue that any unauthorized changes to data systems in these agencies may be difficult to discover and retract them.
Candidates to high -level executive positions usually have to go through the Senate confirmation process. But it is mysterious the role of musk in the government.
Musk spoke frankly about his plans to reduce money and shoot at the employees of various government agencies. It has often appeared in the White House in recent weeks, including the visits of foreign leaders such as the Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi.
On Tuesday, the White House press secretary, Caroline Levitte, argued that Musk works as a “great advisor, if you will,”
At a press conference later today at the Mar Lago Resort in Florida, Trump was also asked about the role of Musk.
Trump replied, “Illon for me, Patriot.” “You can call him an employee. You can call him a consultant. You can contact him with what you want, but it is patriotic.”
When pressing whether Musk arrives at the Federal Defense and Administration of Aviation Department will make a conflict of interests, given the fact that he owned a space company, Trump was rejecting.
Trump said, “I will not leave any conflict of interests there,” Trump said.
“I told Elon, any conflicts, you cannot have any relationship. So anything about an area perhaps, we will not let Elon participate in it.”
Creating legal ambiguity is an amazing list of legal challenges and counter -challenges that apply to a number of agencies and argued before many judges.
Musk relied on a hostile speech on government agencies, referring to the U.S. Assistant Agency for the American preliminary agency as “the nest of snakes from the radical left -wing Marxists who hate America.”
He also attacked judges who are not condemned for his efforts with Trump. After the judge ordered the data groups that were cleansed from the government agency’s sites that will be restored, Musk described it as a “evil judge” “who must be expelled.”
