Summary
A federal judge issued a temporary restraining order blocking the Education Department and the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) from sharing sensitive records with DOGE.
The lawsuit, filed by labor unions and veterans, alleges DOGE seeks to fire workers and cut federal programs while violating the Privacy Act of 1974.
Judge Deborah Boardman ruled the plaintiffs are likely to succeed and face “irreparable harm” if DOGE gains access.
This follows other legal challenges against DOGE’s efforts to access federal data.
He who saves the country can break no laws… He just seems to do whatever the hell he wants at this point.
