Judge Temporarily Blocks Education Dept., OPM From Giving DOGE Sensitive Info
U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman in Maryland temporarily blocked the Education Department and Office of Personnel Management (OPM) from giving DOGE access to sensitive information.
It lasts for two weeks.
However, it does not apply to the Treasury Department or Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
Several plaintiffs, including unions, asked for the temporary restraining order (TRO).
They brought the lawsuit because they want to keep DOGE out of the student loan systems.
“It may be that, with additional time, the government can explain why granting such broad access to the plaintiffs’ personal information is necessary for DOGE affiliates at Education to do their jobs, but for now, the record before the Court indicates they do not have a need for these records in the performance of their duties,” wrote Boardman.
DOGE wants to clean house. Many of us non-leftists have had our eyes on the Education Department for a looooooong time.
Weirdly enough, U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss in D.C. ruled that six DOGE agents getting “mere access” to data did not satisfy the irreparably harm factor needed to receive a TRO.
