Judge Chutkan, who oversaw Donald Trump's
election interference case, said she wants the modified request by 5 p.m. Saturday, after which she will issue a ruling on the temporary restraining order.
The states, in their lawsuit, argue that "the President does not have the constitutional authority to unilaterally dismantle the government. Nor could he delegate such expansive authority to an unelected, unconfirmed individual."
In a motion filed Friday, they asked Judge Chutkan to immediately block Musk from altering the funding for any agency, from placing any employees on leave, from canceling any government contracts, from accessing any sensitive data, and from "asserting control over" any agency.
