DOGE Litigation

DOGE litigation refers to privacy lawsuits targeting Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which has sought access to sensitive personal data from federal agencies including Treasury, Education and OPM. Plaintiffs argue the data transfers violate the Privacy Act of 1974 and lack legal justification or oversight. Several courts have issued temporary restraining orders blocking the disclosure of Social Security, payroll and student loan data while broader legal challenges proceed. This page tracks key litigation, constitutional questions and proposals to modernize the Privacy Act in response to growing concerns over surveillance and government access to personal data.

Search Primer

Multi-word term: Place inside quotes to ensure an exact match together (e.g. "China import").

Term list: Separate terms with spaces, not commas or semicolons to find either word (e.g. AD/CVD antidumping).

Acronyms: Use all capital letters (e.g., ACE).

Required term: If a term must be included in any resulting articles, prefix it with a plus sign (e.g., CBP +releases).

Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., -ruling).

Singular form: Use the singular form when doing multi-word terms (e.g. "russian export control" instead of "russian export controls").

Shortest word form: When you have different word forms in a quoted term, include the shortest version if it is the last part of the expression (e.g., "entity list" instead of "entity listing" or "entity listed").
