Judge blocks 2 federal agencies from disclosing personal records to Trump adviser Musk's DOGE

A federal judge in Maryland temporarily blocked the Department of Education and Office of Personnel Management from sharing personal information with Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency due to privacy concerns.
U.S. District Judge Deborah L. Boardman stated that the plaintiffs likely demonstrated violations of the Privacy Act by these agencies in disclosing personal information without consent.
The plaintiffs include labor unions and military veterans, who alleged that DOGE sought access to sensitive data, including Social Security numbers and financial records.
Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, emphasized the importance of protecting individuals' personal data from unauthorized access by DOGE and remarked that the decision creates a firewall between unauthorized access and the protection of privacy.
