Trump administration asks Supreme Court to allow DOGE to access to Social Security Administration systems

Washington — The Trump administration on Friday asked the Supreme Court to let the White House's Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, have access to sensitive information kept by the Social Security Administration.
The emergency appeal to the Supreme Court stems from an injunction issued by a federal district court judge in Maryland who blocked DOGE's access to Social Security Administration system of records containing personal information.
The judge concluded in her April decision that the plaintiffs, two labor unions and an advocacy group, were likely to succeed on their claim that the Social Security Administration's decision to give DOGE access to millions of Americans' confidential information violated the Privacy Act and a federal law governing the agency rulemaking process.
