Judge stops Musk’s team from ’unbridled access’ to Social Security private data
A federal judge has issued a temporary restraining order preventing Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing the Social Security Administration's (SSA) systems containing personal data of millions of Americans. U.S. District Judge Ellen Hollander criticized DOGE's efforts as a "fishing expedition" lacking concrete evidence of widespread fraud. The order also mandates that DOGE delete any personally identifiable information already obtained and restricts access to anonymized data for 14 days.
This decision is part of broader legal challenges against the administration's attempts to downsize federal agencies, reflecting ongoing concerns about privacy and the extent of DOGE's authority.
