Attorney General Rob Bonta, along with 18 other states, filed a lawsuit against President Trump's administration after it granted the newly established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, access to the Treasury's payment system. The lawsuit contends that this access jeopardizes sensitive American private information, such as Social Security numbers and bank account details. The suit aims to halt this access amid concerns over data security and the vetting of those with such access, highlighting the potential risks to personal data and government payments.
As a people, we should be able to entrust our federal government with our sensitive personal information. We should be able to trust that the people who have access to it are qualified, vetted and trustworthy.
Our private data isn't Mr. Trump's to share. It isn't Mr. Musk's to mine. The true limitations on DOGE's access remain unclear and that DOGE may still be able to collect data.
