Federal Judge Blocks Two Agencies From Disclosing Information To DOGE
The personal information that was accessed includes bank account numbers, social security numbers, dates of birth and addresses.
A federal judge agreed to temporarily block two federal agencies from disclosing sensitive information to Musk’s DOGE.
The judge ruled that the Department of Education and the Office of Personnel Management likely violated the privacy act by disclosing people’s personal information to DOGE without their consent.
The personal information that was accessed includes bank account numbers, social security numbers, dates of birth and addresses.
The judge said DOGE could use the information “to create a comprehensive picture of the plaintiffs’ familial, professional, or financial affairs.”
The temporary ban was proposed by attorneys for unions and groups representing current and former federal employees.
