Federal Judge: Dismantling USAID Is Unconstitutional

The Hill reports:

A federal judge ruled Tuesday that Elon Musk and DOGE likely exercised unconstitutional authority “in multiple ways” in dismantling the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang’s ruling in favor of 26 current and former U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) workers seeks to “delay a premature, final shutdown” of the agency while litigation continues.

His order requires DOGE to reinstate email and system access to current USAID employees and blocks DOGE personnel from taking “any actions relating” to the agency, without express permission of a USAID official with legal authority. It marks the first time a judge has ruled that Musk is likely exercising enough independent authority to require him to be confirmed by the Senate under the Constitution’s Appointments Clause.
