Government employee unions sue Treasury to stop DOGE from accessing sensitive data
- A federal judge ordered that employees of Elon Musk be locked out of the U.S. Treasury's systems, which manage $6 trillion in payments. This ruling was made in response to a lawsuit against Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and others.
- The lawsuit was filed by labor organizations claiming that Bessent violated privacy laws by granting unauthorized access to the newly created Department of Government Efficiency , controlled by Musk.
- Legal experts have expressed concern that the Trump administration might ignore the court order, potentially undermining the ruling's enforcement.
- The plaintiffs seek an injunction to prevent unauthorized access to payment systems, arguing that it violates the Privacy Act of 1974 and threatens individuals' privacy on a massive scale.
