Supreme Court gives DOGE access to Social Security data

Granting DOGE access to sensitive data within the Social Security Administration, the conservative majority of the Supreme Court lifted a lower court injunction and upheld the Trump administration’s broad assertion of power over the executive branch.

“The circumstances of this case justify granting the requested stay,” stated the Court in an unsigned order. “We have determined that, given the current situation, the SSA is permitted to allow members of the DOGE Team access to the specific agency records necessary for their duties.”

In response, a federal employee union, the challenger in this case, accused DOGE of attempting to expose Americans’ highly personal information to untrained and unauthorized employees, which would violate 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.
