US EditionJudge allows states’ DOGE challenge to proceed
- On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan permitted 14 states to continue their legal action against billionaire Elon Musk and the federal Government Efficiency agency.
- The states filed the lawsuit in February, alleging Musk and DOGE violated the Constitution by accessing data systems and canceling contracts without proper authorization.
- Judge Chutkan dismissed claims against Donald Trump but denied a temporary restraining order on DOGE, noting unresolved questions about Musk’s legal authority over operations.
- Chutkan emphasized that the Constitution does not allow the Executive Branch to seize full control over appointment authority by independently establishing a federal agency through an Executive Order, which is the central argument made by the plaintiffs.
- The ruling permits the states to challenge Musk’s direction of sweeping job cuts and program dismantling at DOGE, which the lawsuit claims lack congressional approval.
