Supreme Court gives DOGE access to Social Security data
Share this @internewscast.com

The Supreme Court’s conservative majority on Friday allowed DOGE to obtain sensitive information from the Social Security Administration. This decision overturned a prior court’s ban and supported the Trump administration’s expanded control over the executive branch.

“The circumstances of this case justify granting the requested stay,” the Court stated in an unsigned order. “We determine that, given the current situation, the SSA can proceed to give members of the DOGE Team at SSA access to the necessary records for them to perform their duties.”

A federal employee union, which challenged this move, alleged that DOGE intended to let unauthorized and untrained personnel access Americans’ private data, contravening federal law.

Justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented.

“Today, the Court grants a stay permitting the Government to give unfettered data access to DOGE regardless-despite its failure to show any need or any interest in complying with existing privacy safeguards, and all before we know for sure whether federal law countenances such access,” Jackson wrote.
