The Trump administration on Friday asked the U.S. Supreme Court to allow the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to gain access to Social Security data, coming after courts blocked the Elon Musk-led task force from accessing those records on privacy grounds.
The petition comes after a judge in Maryland restricted the team’s access under federal privacy laws. An appeals court this week refused to immediately lift the block on DOGE’s access, prompting the administration’s emergency appeal.
