The US Judge Issues Preliminary Injunction, Blocking the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) From Accessing Personal Data of 3 Federal Agencies

BlockBeats News, March 25th, U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman issued a preliminary injunction prohibiting the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing personal data from the U.S. Department of Education, Department of the Treasury, and Office of Personnel Management. A union coalition filed a lawsuit last month in a federal court in Maryland, led by the American Federation of Teachers, accusing the Trump administration of allowing Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency to access systems containing their personal information without the consent of tens of millions of Americans, a move that violates federal privacy laws. The judge stated that the government failed to adequately explain why the Department of Government Efficiency needs to access "millions of records" to fulfill its job responsibilities.
