A federal appeals court on Tuesday granted DOGE access to sensitive data from several government agencies, vacating a lower court’s preliminary injunction.
US District Judge Deborah Boardman, a Biden appointee, previously issued a preliminary injunction blocking DOGE from accessing potentially sensitive data, citing privacy violations.
A three-judge panel on the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, in a 2-1 ruling, smacked down Judge Boardman and rejected labor unions’ request to block DOGE’s access to the data.
Fox News reported:
A federal appeals court on Tuesday rejected an effort by a group of labor unions to block President Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, from accessing potentially sensitive U.S. user data from several government agencies.
