Federal Judge does not immediately regulate to block DODE Access to work departmental systems

A federal judge said Friday that he would not immediately block the Institute of Government Efficiency or Doge from access to systems in the work department.

American district judge John Bates said he was concerned about DOGE, but that the unions who defend to block their access to the systems have not yet provided evidence of any legal damage.

“Although the court has concerns about the defendant’s alleged behavior, it must deny the plaintiffs’ proposals at this time,” Bates wrote.

The work department has examined companies such as SpaceX and Tesla, owned by Elon Musk, who leads DODE, and keeps registrations of these studies. The department also has information about the business secrets of these companies, the unions said in the trial.

The department’s business security and health administration has investigated and fined SpaceX and Tesla over the safety of workers, the unions say.

The work department’s systems contain medical and financial records over millions of Americans, including those who have submitted security complaints about their employers.

The order comes after the Trump administration earlier this week agreed that DOGE would not receive access to the work department before this judicial decision.

The Ministry of Justice said there are three DODE employees who have been assigned the work department and reported to their acting secretary, even though they have been made into special government employees and are obliged to follow the law with sensitive information about businesses or workers when conducting a review .

Musk’s DODE team had been given access to sensitive payment systems for the Ministry of Finance, although a judge has since blocked this access to state courses that contain sensitive personal information, such as social security and bank account numbers for millions of Americans. DOGE has also largely dismantled the US Agency for International Development and offered financial incentives to millions of federal workers to resign.

“At each stage, DOGE violates more laws, from constitutional limits of executive power, to laws that protect officials from arbitrary threats and adverse actions, to crucial protection of government data collected and stored on hundreds of millions of Americans,” Workers’ Union Attorneys represented by Advocacy Group Democracy Forward wrote.

The Labor Department Leadership told a union member this week that DOGE would visit and the workers should let them do “what they ask not to push back, not to ask questions,” the unions wrote.

The Ministry of Justice said there is no evidence of wrongdoing and the judge should not issue “a sweeping, prophylactic order … based on the plaintiffs’ rank speculations that DOL will violate the law.”

Nineteen states have sued Doges access to federal payment systems.
