Destruction of world’s largest humanitarian programme was done without formal authority or official oversight, former USAID employees claim
Elon Musk, leader of the Trump administration’s now-disbanded Department of Government Efficiency, must sit for depositions along with senior State Department officials over their role in dismantling the U.S. Agency for International Development, a federal judge ruled Tuesday.
Pointing to findings that Musk had made the decision to break up USAID – one of the world’s largest humanitarian programs – despite lacking formal authority or official approval – District Judge Theodore Chuang wrote that there was “no alternative” than for Musk and other officials to provide testimony regarding their decision-making process.
The ruling represents a win for a group of anonymous former USAID employees who are suing Musk, DOGE and State Department officials over the closure.
Don’t you get deported when you’re not born in the US and are convicted of a felony? Just saying.
He’s a naturalized US citizen. But citizenship can be stripped, especially if someone has dual citizenship. And Musk still has Canadian citizenship…
I can see how the idea of stripping people of color of their citizenship is so easy to sell to Americans when their first reaction is to try to do it to anyone that they don’t like.
You just don’t want your fascist back.
Of course we don’t want him near us.
Nice try deflecting from your American instinct to deport your political enemies though.
Oh deportation isn’t the route I’d prefer. Too humanitarian for these fuckers. Just giving Canada an opportunity to fix an issue in which they are complicit instead of just saying nope you touched it last.
Personally I think that we should strap him to one of his rockets and send him to the moon.
I’m just trying to get you to see how messed up it is that you are using the same rhetoric about stripping citizenship of your political enemies, while the “good Americans” pretend to be outraged that the Republicans want to do the same to their political enemies.
Are there any Americans at all who want to follow due process and have a functioning justice system?
Trump and co seem like a symptom of a sickness that is affecting you all.
It’s not the same though to be fair. Elon’s citizenship is invalid. Based on an overstayed, and misused student visa. Citizenship can be, and often is revoked if found later that they abused, misused, or falsified their information during the immigration process. He came in on a student visa, and then worked instead.
