08.02.2025Day Courts Locked Treasury Gates
Trump's morning revocation of Biden's security clearance initiated a wave of similar actions against political opponents, citing Biden's 2021 precedent. The move coincided with multiple legal setbacks for the administration's federal restructuring.

A federal judge blocked DOGE's access to Treasury payment systems, warning of "irreparable harm," while another ruling halted the placement of 2,200 USAID employees on administrative leave. Nineteen states filed suit to prevent DOGE from accessing Treasury Department personal data records.

By evening, reports emerged of DOGE obtaining Treasury data despite court orders, raising security concerns. Federal workers' unions reported membership surges in response to the restructuring. The administration announced plans for reciprocal tariffs and new NIH funding policies, while Trump's takeover of the Kennedy Center board faced institutional resistance.
