The Trump administration has drafted orders calling for a “drastic overhaul” of the State Department [1] [2], signaling major shifts in diplomatic operations. Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is implementing widespread cuts with significant impacts across a Midwestern city that has long been a federal hub [3]. Despite leading this influential department, Musk has consistently avoided challenging interviews about DOGE’s activities [4] while reportedly pursuing Pentagon contracts for satellite infrastructure that would benefit his companies [5].

President Trump has moved to invoke “Schedule F,” a classification that would remove civil service protections from thousands of federal workers [1]. This executive action would reclassify “wide swaths” of the federal workforce [2], making it easier to fire career employees. The Department of Defense is experiencing significant upheaval, with Secretary Hegseth removing four staffers in a single day [3].

1.1 Deportation Policies and Legal Challenges

The Supreme Court has ordered a temporary halt to deportations under the 18th century Alien Enemies Act, specifically blocking the Trump administration from deporting Venezuelan migrants [1][2]. This follows Federal Judge James Boasberg’s earlier denial of an emergency request to block “imminent” deportation flights under the same act [3]. SCOTUS specifically blocked deportation of alleged Tren De Aragua gang members [4]. In a parallel development, a Biden-appointed judge blocked Trump’s plan for rapid third-country deportations [5].

1. Executive Authority and Government Restructuring

1.1 DOGE Operations and Agency Cuts

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, faces intensifying scrutiny as nearly $1 billion in claimed savings have “vanished overnight” [1]. DOGE has begun freezing healthcare payments for “extra review” [2], while critics allege Musk has “decimated the government” yet “saved almost nothing” [3]. The broader government downsizing continues with nearly 90% of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau reportedly eliminated [4], though a federal judge has temporarily blocked these layoffs [5]. Trump’s “War on Measurement” is resulting in significant data losses regarding drug use, maternal mortality, and climate change [6].
