A federal judge has granted a preliminary injunction to block the Department of Government Efficiency from further access to sensitive personal information at the Social Security Administration.
The order blocks the agency from granting DOGE access to systems containing personally identifiable information including Social Security numbers, medical records, mental health records, tax information and family court records.
A federal judge has once again blocked Department of Government Efficiency staffers, operating inside the Social Security Administration, from accessing sensitive personal data of millions of Americans.
U.S. District Judge Ellen Lipton Hollander on Thursday granted a preliminary injunction to block the so-called DOGE from further accessing sensitive personal data stored by the agency. As a result, DOGE will have to comply with certain legal requirements when accessing SSA data. The order applies specifically to SSA employees who are working on the DOGE agenda.
The lawsuit was brought by the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees; the AFL-CIO; American Federation of Teachers and Alliance for Retired Americans.
They are represented by national legal organization Democracy Forward.

Also, a President has no control over the executive branch of the federal government if his last name is "Trump".
BTW, I'm sure "Democracy Forward" equals "Soros".
Musk has already said the data he’s analyzing does not contain personal identifiers. Unless he’s lying this is a non-issue.
But of course.
More Communists attacking the Trump administration.
This is just silly season.
DOGE has all the data they need at this point.
It has always been a nonissue. DOGE is not interested in granny’s medical record. They are interested in the disability payments going to illegal aliens and dead people.
She’s an Obama pick.
Why does the SSA have all that information in the first place? Disburse whatever money is left and shut the place down. It’s going broke anyway.
Raw data ain’t personal-
Tagged ID’s, dollar amounts, dates, transaction details, don’t reveal sensitive personal data.
Patterns is what they are looking for.
Not your phookin’ name.
Exactly.
They are represented in court by Democracy Forward.
That's a cute little, make no mistake, twist of the communist banner Forward.
Only thing we needed to know. Obama judges are liars/corrupt/and incompetent. They should be thrown out just for being nominated by Obama.
They will always get everything wrong.
ALL. FEDERAL. DATA. SYSTEMS.
Trump/Musk just repurposed it as United States DOGE Service to go after fraud, theft and abuse, but it still has access to all federal data systems.
ALL. FEDERAL. DATA. SYSTEMS.
And there is nothing they can do about it.
Oh those judges. Doncha just love ‘em. Yessir.
We are heading for Us versus Them.
Next: Donald Trump has been barred from anyone meeting him at the White House until the judge declares each plastic trash bag of meeting food refuse is of the proper thickness and meets environmental regulations.
Each day the judge will rule of the array of trash bags.
And another thing.....how come the irs doesn’t just send everybody an invoice if you owe them.
Such irony...
The federal government holds sensitive, private information
on individual American citizens, but is unwilling to share
this information with an agency of the Federal government?
Not to mention the fact that an employer must have access to all employee data.
The judge is full of it.
Exactly! Assholes make me spend hours trying navigate their stupid exemptions and deductions and charts and formulas and all that bullshit or they make me spend 200 dollars to have someone else do that for me and then 6 months later they send me a letter saying I underpaid by 500 dollars or some damn thing. Well hell’s bells assholes. If you already know how much I owe, why do you make me jump through all those hoops?
To talk with an SSA agent in person, I had to call, wait on hold 40 minutes and was told I would get a text tomorrow with whatever date/time they decide. I received such text, but for a phone appointment, not in person, and it is in 8 weeks! But oh no, we cannot let anyone find the well expected fraud and griters stealing billions of dollars.
“Well hell’s bells assholes. If you already know how much I owe, why do you make me jump through all those hoops?”
That’s a very good question! And consider yourself lucky if you’re paying $200 for tax preparation. 💲😕
