A California federal judge has ruled that the Trump administration must pause its extensive government restructuring efforts after finding they lack Congressional authorization. The ruling affects planned mass layoffs and restructuring efforts led by Elon Muskâs department of government efficiency (Doge), amid ongoing lawsuits against the initiative. The judge highlighted the chaos created by unauthorized cuts and the disruption of essential government services as key reasons for the temporary halt, with a subsequent hearing set to discuss a longer injunction against these actions.
As history demonstrates, the president may broadly restructure federal agencies only when authorized by Congress, Illston said.
The ruling is the broadest of its kind against the government overhaul that has been led by Elon Musk, the world's richest person.
The Trump administration's unlawful attempt to reorganize the federal government has thrown agencies into chaos, disrupting critical services provided across our nation.
Laying off federal employees and reorganizing government functions haphazardly does not achieve that.
