Federal judge orders limited DOGE access to sensitive Treasury Department payment system records

Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly ruled that the Treasury Department cannot provide access to any payment record or system of records maintained by the Bureau of the Fiscal Service.
The lawsuit, filed by labor unions, claimed that Scott Bessent allowed Doge surrogates to access personal information of millions transacting with the federal government.
The plaintiffs cited violations of the Privacy Act of 1974 and the Internal Revenue Code, alleging breaches of personal information security.
