Judge Bars Social Security Officials From Giving DOGE Unredacted Data
Briefly

A federal judge has temporarily restrained the Social Security Administration from providing Elon Musk's team access to sensitive records, citing privacy issues. This ruling, delivered by Judge Ellen L. Hollander, limits access specifically to documents that would enable individual-level analysis while allowing for redacted data. This is part of wider concerns regarding data access amid rising fears about immigration crackdowns. Previous attempts by Musk's team to obtain sensitive data from other federal agencies have led to similar legal challenges due to privacy risks.
