New York Attorney General Letitia James led a lawsuit from 19 states seeking to continue blocking Musk's Department of Government Efficiency's access to Treasury Department computer systems. U.S. District Judge Jeannette Vargas extended the order Friday that another judge put in place Feb. 8 but did not say when she would rule on a more permanent preliminary injunction.
The case was one of three featuring challenges from states and unions against Musk's efforts to root out waste, fraud and abuse in the federal government.
In Washington, D.C., U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan considered a restraining order in a case brought by 14 states against billionaire Musk as head of DOGE for allegedly creating havoc in the federal bureaucracy. The complaint alleges Musk is operating without legal authorization from Congress.
The president "has delegated virtually unchecked authority to Mr. Musk without proper legal authorization from Congress and without meaningful supervision of his activities," according to the complaint filed Thursday.
