Federal judge has prevented access to the personal information of millions of US trade unions in the Ministries of Finance and Education for the Doge Department of Elon Musk.

The decision was today by US Regional Judge Deborah Boardman in Maryland and is expanding the provisional ban it has submitted a month ago to apply to the Treasury, Education and the Federal Personnel Management Office.

He said that the members of the union may be able to “pass” their position on violations of the government’s confidentiality laws which gave Doge access to relevant data.

Her order comes as the Trump government is trying to persuade another federal judge in New York to partially lift the limits of access to the Treasury’s data imposed on a Doge official.

Boardman said the Trump government failed to prove why these executives needed the social security numbers of trade union members, bank information and other sensitive data to carry out “technologies”.

He also said that top officials followed an approach “first shoot and then ask” to give dogs access to a huge collection of information before they identify if they really need them.

“No matter how important or urgent the agenda of the Doge President may be, the federal services must execute it in accordance with the law. This probably did not happen,” he wrote.

Its mandate, however, does not completely exclude access to information on DOGE staff but mainly concerns restriction of access to files on more than two million members of the five unions who have appealed, as well as six individual plaintiffs receiving federal benefits or have federal student loans.

White House spokesman, Harrison Fields, said in a statement that “waste, fraud and abuse have been deeply established in our damaged system for a long time. It needs immediate access to the system to identify and correct it. Doge will continue to light up of ”.

A spokesman for Protect Democracy, who represents the plaintiffs, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Boardman had already ordered the plaintiffs to deposit $ 10,000 in its ruling in February and that the money would remain in court, according to its latest ruling. Trump issued an executive decree earlier this month that requires the Ministry of Justice to demand such bonds, which the government could possibly regain if it manages to overturn the decisions on appeal.

It is noteworthy that in New York, with an appeal filed by the Attorney General of the Democratic State, the Ministry of Justice asked US regional judge Jeannette Vargas to abolish an order banning the Doge Ryan Wunderly employee to access the Treasury records.

Vargas has previously proposed to review whether the government can prove that Doge staff went through the same training and control with other government officials who handle sensitive data.
