The Sierra Club on March 6 asked a federal court to reverse the firing of thousands of National Park Service and Forest Service workers, arguing in a suit it filed alongside a trio of other nonprofits that the government violated the Constitution when it dismissed them and other probationary federal employees last month, according to a report by Backpacker, a subsidiary of Outside.
Besides the Sierra Club, the other organizations behind the suit are the Union of Concerned Scientists, Organization of Chinese Americans, and Japanese American Citizens League. The suit names as defendants Elon Musk, his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), its administrator Amy Gleason, and the heads or acting heads of 16 different government agencies including the National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, and Interior Department.
The complaint runs to more than 100 pages. Among other claims, it says that Musk violated the law by directing agencies to make cuts because he is not an elected or confirmed federal official, and that the group’s actions violated the separation of powers clause because only Congress has the authority to change or cancel federal appropriations.
