Federal judge considers blocking DOGE from accessing Social Security data of millions of Americans

Associated Press  

BALTIMORE — A federal judge is considering whether to temporarily block Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency from accessing Social Security Administration systems that hold sensitive data on millions of Americans. The Trump administration says DOGE has a 10-person team of federal employees at the Social Security Administration, seven of whom have been granted read-only access to agency systems or personally identifiable information. “We want Elon Musk and the DOGE group to take their hands off Social Security,” said Ronnie Bailey, 75, a retired Maryland corrections officer and Vietnam veteran. At Social Security, DOGE staffers swept into the agency days after Trump’s inauguration and pressed for a software engineer to quickly get access to data systems that are normally carefully restricted even within the government, a former official said in court documents.
