BALTIMORE (AP) — A federal judge is considering whether to temporarily block Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency from accessing Social Security Administration systems that hold sensitive data on millions of Americans. A group of labor unions and retirees has sued the Trump administration and asked the court to issue an emergency order limiting DOGE access to the agency and its vast troves of personal data. They say DOGE’s “nearly unlimited” access violates privacy laws and presents massive information security risks. The administration has said DOGE is targeting waste and fraud in the federal government.
