Summary
A federal judge granted 19 states a temporary restraining order blocking employees of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing taxpayer records.
The lawsuit, led by New York Attorney General Letitia James, argues that DOGE’s expanded access poses cybersecurity risks, violates federal laws, and interferes with congressionally appropriated funds.
Judge Paul Engelmayer cited potential “irreparable harm” from data breaches.
The court also questioned Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s role in altering data protection policies.
Musk’s budget cuts and influence over federal agencies have sparked multiple legal challenges.
And who enforces this restraining order?
That’s definitely the problem. If we can catch them violating it, it might eventually mean contempt of court, and putting some of the people responsible in jail.
Again, I ask. Who makes the arrest?
Definitely not this DOJ.
One way is to deport him.
