New York judge blocks DOGE from accessing Treasury system

A federal judge in New York on Saturday issued a preliminary injunction prohibiting Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency from accessing the Treasury Department’s payment system.

U.S. District Judge Paul A. Engelmayer said in an emergency order that DOGE personnel were prohibited from examining the Treasury Department’s records and directed staffers granted access to the system to “destroy any and all copies of material downloaded from the Treasury Department’s records and systems.”
