A federal judge has partially lifted an injunction against Elon Musk's DOGE unit, permitting one staff member, Ryan Wunderly, to access sensitive US Treasury payment systems. This decision follows a previous order criticizing DOGE's access method as 'chaotic and haphazard.' The judge's latest order comes after concerns regarding data protection were addressed, allowing Wunderly access to personally identifiable information of US citizens, including sensitive financial details. The ruling conditions his access on completing required training and filing a financial disclosure report.
"In her February order, Vargas barred the DOGE team from accessing Treasury systems holding sensitive financial data, citing the political unit's 'chaotic and haphazard' approach to probing government bodies."
"Judge Vargas had earlier indicated the injunction could be modified or lifted if the Trump administration fixed the 'procedure defects' around protecting confidential information."
