14 states are suing to block DOGE from accessing federal data as legal battles over President Trump's executive orders continue. Federal judges are issuing pre-trial injunctions without requiring plaintiffs to post injunction bonds, potentially breaking the law. The Trump administration may use legal weapons to rein in the lower courts by enforcing Rule 65(c) which requires posting bonds for injunctions.
