The launch of President Trump's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, aims to overhaul federal bureaucratic systems, but has sparked legal challenges from congressional Democrats and other groups concerned about its unchecked power. They warn that DOGE’s demands for access to sensitive government data could threaten national security and citizens' civil liberties. Despite its ambitious objectives of cutting regulations and workforce, the legality of DOGE's operations is under scrutiny as it is not an official federal department, blurring lines regarding its authority to act.
Congressional Democrats have expressed deep concern over the task force's conduct, warning it poses "enormous risks to national security and to the privacy and civil liberties of Americans."
DOGE, led by Elon Musk, aims to slash federal regulations and spending, yet its legal authority remains poorly defined, raising significant concerns.
