A federal judge in Maryland has blocked the Department of Education and Office of Personnel Management from sharing the personal information of plaintiffs in a lawsuit against the Trump administration with Elon Musk's so-called Department of Government Efficiency.
U.S. District Judge Deborah L. Boardman issued a temporary restraining order Monday on both agencies and wrote in an opinion that the plaintiffs in the case, which include members of several major unions, showed that the Education Department and OPM "likely violated the Privacy Act by disclosing their personal information to DOGE affiliates without their consent."

Judge Deborah
I checked and did not see anything. Do people still use key words here at Free Republic
Why are reliably conservative legal commentators suggesting it may take until Summer for the USSC to resolve these ridiculous cases?
All of these cases with these extreme far-left, stooge judges are just to give the commie RATS the necessary time to clean up their messes and get rid of where all the money they stole from taxpayers went.
That judge is an accomplice to any wrongdoing. Pick one, SWAT him, make sure he has injuries he either never forgets, or never survives. That is the new rules the left started.
It always takes a long time for cases against non-Democrats to wend their way through the sludge. Add to that the real possibility that a majority of SCOTUS hates President Trump.
you can start the name of every government agency with “so-called”
What possible reason does the Dept of Ed have for having such sensitive information of people?
She is one of the main, main, judges these cases are being shopped too because she is a partisan hack.
This is a lot of smoke and noise. Trump controls the Dept. of Education and has put a new Secretary in charge of it. All he needs to do is tell her to do exactly what DOGE wants done, and if there’s any problem just hire a temp “tech support” person to do it. Problem solved.
I believe the reason Trump and Elon came out with this “shock and awe” approach rather than methodically drilling down on one department for weeks at a time is to distract the Dems and spread them so thin the actual work would be completed before they ever got out of the courtroom.

U.S. District Judge Deborah L. Boardman needs to be impeached, convicted, and disbarred.
Not to mention hiding where all the bodies are buried.
The executive branch isn’t allowed to share information with itself? How many years of law school did this judge have to go to to get this stupid?
By the amount of people and some democrats voted for Trump bet many so called judges will have their career ending faster than expected.
DOGE already has the information NOW once they are able to get into the offices after this judges ruling is overturned they will be able to prove they took this time to cook the books!! These people are unbelievably stupid if they don’t know that DOGE was into these systems BEFORE inauguration!!! DOGE are brilliant minds that people in the government have NEVER come up against and are to damn stupid to even realize THEY are NOT the smartest people on the planet like they think they are!!! I am enjoying every damn minute of this these idiots are running to the courts and the horse left the barn LONG AGO!!!!
