Maryland’s judge orders Elon Musk to stop Doge’s operations in USAID

Baltimore – Another judge governs against the Trump administration of a federal court in Maryland.

This time addressed to Elon Musk and his government efficiency department.

Judge Theodore Chuang, a designated president Barack Obama, says that Musk and Company’s participation to close Usaid was probably unconstitutional.

In turn, he ordered Doge to restore USAID data access to employees and contractors, even those who have been placed on administrative license.

President Donald Trump granted Musk and Doge broad authority to audit USAID contracts, and terminate those classified as waste, fraud or abuse of the government.

But Chuang believes that such power requires that Musk be confirmed by the Senate.

While other federal judges have criticized the role of Musk in Usaid, everyone has stopped considering their actions to reduce costs and unconstitutional staff.

Chuang’s order demands that the USAID offices remain open, despite the fact that the Trump administration promises to obtain it.

Many agency employees have already been sent by the federal government.

The Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who runs the agency as action, recently announced the termination of 90 percent of USAID contracts.

A federal judge in Washington DC ruled that Usaid was in the hook to pay contractors for the work already completed, but allowed the cancellation of future contracts to continue.

The official Musk position with Doge has been the subject of scrutiny in multiple demands filed throughout the country. Trump has long considered the founder of Tesla as head of the group, although the official position of the administration is that he is simply a presidential advisor.

Under Chuang, Musk and Doge’s request, they can no longer call any operations in USAID.

However, all actions already taken can be maintained so time that an official agency chief signature, which in this case is Rubio, whose publicly supported Musk’s efforts.

Chuang is also ordering Musk and Dege to sign an agreement that would allow Usaid to return to his former headquarters of Washington DC in case the lawsuit against the government prevails.

However, the agreement would not be valid if Rubio or one of its designated officers confirms the closure of the agency.

However, this last ruling is another judicial setback for the Trump administration.

Since he returned to office, Trump faced an avalanche of federal mandates with the aim of blocking large extensions of his agenda.

These decisions, several that have been issued by judges in Maryland, have raised the separation of power concerns, which caused questions about whether Trump should fulfill or challenge with judicial orders.

In general, the courts do not have a real application mechanism against a president in exercise with radical immunity and control of the Department of Justice whose task of implementing judicial orders.

Some critics, including Musk himself, have openly supported the idea that Trump ignores the courts.

Recently, Trump, as Musk, suggested accusing judges, generating a response from the president of the Supreme Court, John Roberts, who urged to appeal instead of accusing.

Some legislators in the House of Representatives of the Chamber of Representatives of the United States have already presented articles of political trial against certain judges for previous decisions against Trump. Due to a super majority necessary to achieve the accusation, it is very unlikely that these efforts are successful.
