Federal Judge Blocks USAID Shutdown, Cites Constitutional Violations
A U.S. federal judge in Maryland has ruled that Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) likely violated the Constitution in their attempt to dismantle USAID, issuing an injunction to halt the agency’s closure. Furthermore, the judge stated that the shutdown deprived Congress of its authority and harmed both employees and public interests as the ruling temporarily restores operations and access to agency resources while legal proceedings continue.
