A federal judge blocked the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing sensitive personal information from several federal agencies, dealing another setback to the Trump administration’s attempts to slash federal programs.
In an order issued on March 24, U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman blocked DOGE, fronted by Elon Musk, from accessing information at the Department of Education, Department of the Treasury, and Office of Personnel Management (OPM). It means that those three agencies cannot disclose personally identifying information of plaintiffs who are part of a lawsuit challenging DOGE’s access.
