A judge allowed the administration's mass layoffs to proceed, while a key appeals court ruling on the president's order to halt birthright citizenship won't come until at least June.
ruling Friday night, a federal judge in New York issued a preliminary injunction barring DOGE's access to sensitive Treasury Department systems, strengthening the previous temporary restraining order
one DOGE official, Marko Elez, was given broader access to one of the systems than he should have had. He was also allowed to take screenshots of some of the data, and "sent emails outside of the Treasury Department to USDS/DOGE," Vargas wrote
Treasury Department cannot say whether or not those emails contained sensitive [Bureau of Financial Services] data. More than a week after Elez resigned from the Treasury Department, BFS was still in the process of reviewing the logs of Elez’s activity on his laptop and within the BFS systems to determine if there was any unauthorized use," the judge wrote. "Even now, weeks after his departure, the Treasury Department is still reviewing his logs to determine what precisely he accessed and what he did with his access."
