Another court win for the Trump Admin!
A federal appeals court on Monday allowed Elon Musk’s DOGE team to access sensitive information.
Last month, a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction barring DOGE from accessing Education Department and OMP records.
US District Judge Deborah Boardman, a Biden appointee previously issued a TRO blocking the Department of Education and Office of Personnel Management (OPM) from sharing data with DOGE.
“DOGE affiliates have been granted access to systems of record that contain some of the plaintiffs’ most sensitive data — Social Security numbers, dates of birth, home addresses, income and assets, citizenship status, and disability status — and their access to this trove of personal information is ongoing,” the judge wrote last month according to NBC News. “There is no reason to believe their access to this information will end anytime soon because the government believes their access is appropriate.”
Several unions representing current and former federal employees previously sued the Trump Administration to block DOGE from accessing so-called ‘sensitive data’ at the Department of Education and OPM.
The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday stayed Judge Boardman’s preliminary injunction in a 2-1 vote.
According to the AP, Judge G. Steven Agee, a George W. Bush appointee, blasted Judge Boardman and said she misread the legal precedent “requiring nothing more than abstract access to personal information to establish a concrete injury.”

Can anyone confirm or deny?
