A Manhattan federal judge has ruled that Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) cannot access sensitive payment systems maintained by the U.S. Treasury Department due to ongoing legal challenges. Judge Jeannette A. Vargas reiterated ongoing restrictions from a temporary restraining order, affirming that access to confidential financial information is barred. This ruling follows a lawsuit initiated by 19 state attorneys general, led by Letitia James, which aims to challenge the legality of allowing political appointees access to these critical systems, citing serious concerns over potential violations of privacy and the sanctity of public services.
