A federal judge in Maryland ruled Tuesday that Elon Musk’s unilateral efforts to dismantle the U.S. Agency for International Development are likely unconstitutional in “multiple ways.” U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang ordered Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency to reinstate computer and email access to current USAID employees and barred DOGE from taking further action. However, it’s not clear whether the ruling will have any impact on reopening USAID after the Trump administration effectively shuttered the agency. President Trump blasted Judge Chuang’s ruling and promised an appeal, telling Fox News, “We have rogue judges that are destroying our country.”
