A federal judge ruled that actions taken by Elon Musk and the Trump administration to shut down USAid likely violated the US Constitution. The ruling by Judge Theodore Chuang mandates the administration to reverse these actions, halt terminations, and allow employees access to their systems. The lawsuit, filed by former USAid employees, highlights concerns about Musk's expansive role that could bypass essential Senate confirmatory processes. The administration is expected to appeal this significant setback in their efforts.
The ruling orders the Trump administration to reverse its efforts to dismantle USAid, highlighting a likely constitutional violation by Elon Musk and his role in the agency's shutdown.
Judge Chuang's ruling emphasized that if the appointments clause could be circumvented by advisors, it would trivialize the role of Senate confirmation in government.
