Judge Blocks Doge From Accessing Sensitive Information At U.S. Agencies

23 hours ago A federal judge has temporarily blocked Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency from accessing people’s private data at the Education Department, the Treasury Department and the Office of Personnel Management. U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman issued the preliminary injunction Monday. She had previously issued a temporary restraining order but the preliminary injunction offers longer-term relief as the case plays out. Boardman found the Trump administration has likely violated federal privacy laws and has failed to adequately explain why DOGE needed access to “millions of records.” The injunction could be challenged on appeal.
