Dismantling of the United States Agency for International Development by billionaireElon MuskThe Ministry of Governmental efficiency is likely to violate the constitution, a federal judge spent on Tuesday that he prevented Doug to an indefinite time from making more discounts to the agency.

The order requiresTrump administrationTo restore e -mail and access to the computer to all the United States Agency employees, including those who have set an administrative leave, although it does not stop reversing the shooting or the agency’s entire revival.

In one of Dog’s first lawsuits against Musk himself, the American boycott judge Theodore Chawang in Maryland refused the Trump administration’s position that musk is just a presidentDonald Trumpadvisor.

The general data of musk and social media shows that he has “firm control of Doge”, and the judge found a publication on the Internet where Musk said that “the US Agency for International Development in the wood cat.”

The judge said that it is possible that the US Agency for International Development is no longer able to do so Performing some of its required jobs legally.

“If these facts are taken combined, the conclusion that the US Agency for International Development has been effectively disposed of,” Chuang wrote in a preliminary judicial order.

He argued the lawsuit filed by the United States Agency for International Development and Contractors that Musk and DOGE are practicing the authority that the constitution maintains only for those who win the elections or confirmed by the Senate. Their lawyers said that the verdict “stops effectively or reflects” many steps taken to dismantle the agency.

The administration said that Dog is searching for waste, fraud, and ill -treatment in the federal government and taking it in the federal government, consistent with the campaign message that helped Trump winning the 2024 elections. The White House and Douj did not immediately respond to the request to comment on the ruling.

Musk, his team and political appointment Trump Beit Maruko played a major role in dismantling the US International Development Agency for two months. In one case in early February, the administration put senior security officials in the agency on a forced leave after they tried to prevent Duji’s workers from reaching the classified and sensitive documents of the United States Agency for International Development.

The administration, with the support of Musk and Doge, continued to order all except part of the agency’s employees through the papers and forced fire, and to end what the Foreign Ministry said was at least 83 % of the contracts of the American Agency for International Development.

The movements were part of a wider batch by Musk and the Trump administration to eliminate the six -year -old foreign assistance agency and most of its work abroad.

Democratic lawmakers and other supporters of the United States for International Development have argued that Trump has no power to block the financing that Congress has already agreed.

Chuang said that the destruction of Dog and Musk’s rapid association of the International Development Agency is likely to harm public attention by depriving elected legislators of “their constitutional authority to determine whether it is and how to close an agency established by Congress.”

The lawsuit was filed by the Democratic Defenders Fund. Nurim Eisen, CEO of the non -profit organization, said that the ruling is a milestone in retreating from Dog and the first to find that Musk’s actions violate the total appointment of the constitution, which is thatDelegationPresidential approval and the Senate asserting some public employees.

He said in a statement, “They are performing a surgery with a saw instead of a scalpel, not only harm the people of the US International Development Agency, but the majority of Americans who depend on the stability of our government,” he said in a statement.

ABBY Maxman urged Oxfam America in a statement that all employees and financing re -re -re -redeem. The CEO of the humanitarian group said: “The freezing of financing and the reduction of programs already suffers from the consequences of life or death on millions around the world.”
