Appeals Court Says Trump’s Doge Team Can Access Sensitive Data
- On Tuesday, the Virginia-based 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, in a 2-1 decision, rejected a unions' bid and upheld DOGE's access to sensitive data.
- After President Donald Trump launched DOGE in January, unions sued SSA to challenge data sharing, and Judge Hollander temporarily barred DOGE access into April.
- The Virginia-based 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the unions did not show injury and lacked standing because DOGE’s data access is not a final agency action.
- Under the ruling, DOGE can access data at the Treasury Department, Education Department and Office of Personnel Management, and the court refused to block systems holding Social Security numbers.
- That prompted the government to come to the Supreme Court on Friday after its June order allowed DOGE to access Social Security systems containing personal data on millions of Americans.
