State attorneys general from New Mexico and 13 other states have sued to block Elon Musk’s role as head of Trump’s government efficiency agency, arguing his appointment to the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was illegal without Congress’s approval.

Musk’s team has been cutting federal spending since Trump took office last month, but DOGE faces multiple lawsuits over its access to government computer systems.

The lawsuit seeks to bar Musk from further government action, calling him an “agent of chaos” with unchecked authority.

Two federal judges will decide if DOGE can access Treasury payment systems and sensitive data from health, labour, and consumer protection agencies.

The lawsuit warns that this could disrupt funding for key federal programs, while Trump may use the information for political gain.

Despite legal challenges, Trump’s administration has moved forward with mass government job cuts and reduced foreign aid, focusing on programs opposed by conservatives.
