A federal judge has prevented Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency from accessing sensitive Treasury Department records that include personal data, following a lawsuit filed by 19 Democratic attorneys general. The case contends that the Trump administration unlawfully allowed Musk's team access to a payment system managing benefits and tax refunds. Judge Engelmayer ordered the immediate destruction of any copied data and highlighted the potential for security issues and illegal fund freezes before scheduling a hearing for February 14.
This unelected group, led by Musk, poses a serious threat to the personal information and financial security of millions of Americans. We cannot allow this to happen.
Judge Engelmayer emphasized that any data accessed by Musk's team must be destroyed, reiterating just how sensitive and impactful this information is for Americans.
