The judge evokes the rare holiday hearing in the event against the Department led by Musk

A Judge of the United States has scheduled a rare audience for the holidays on Monday, in one case presented by the public ministries of the Democrats who try to protect the main federal agencies of the team of the Department of Efficiency of the Government (Doge), led by the billionaire Elon Musk .

The United States district judge Tanya Chutkan in Washington, DC, invited the hearing for Monday Sunday, the holidays of the president’s day, when the federal courts are closed.

He did not say why he determined the hearing, but on Friday he listened to the topics of 13 democratic state ministries to a temporary restriction order that he would have prevented the doge team from accessing information systems by various government agencies, including works departments , education and human services, energy, transport, trade and staff management office.

Doge was searched the federal agencies since the republican Donald Trump became president last month and put Musk responsible for the elimination of the expenditure he evaluates as part of the dramatic reform of the Trump government, which included thousands of work cuts on Friday.

Public ministries also asked the judge to prevent Musk and members of the Doge team from fire to government officials or having them on leave.

General lawyers asked that the order would last 14 days, which would give them time to present legal documents in search of a more permanent order.

Chutkan did not issue a decision at Friday’s hearing.

States argue that Musk exercises the type of power that can only be exercised by a government official who was appointed by the president and confirmed by the United States Senate in accordance with the clause of the appointments of the Constitution of the United States. States also affirm that the creation of the doge was not authorized by the congress.

About 20 legal actions were presented in several federal courts questioning the musk authority, which led to different results in two initial decisions.

The American district judge Jeannette Vargas in New York has extended a temporary block to the Doge who prevented the Musk team from accessing the Treil Dollar Treasure Systems in payments. But also on Friday, the District Judge of the United States John Bates in Washington refused a request for unions and non -profit organizations to temporarily block the access of Team Musk to the registers of the departments of working, health and human services, as well as from Consumer protection office.

Most of the judges who deal with doge cases have not yet issued decisions.
