Supreme Court allows DOGE team to access Social Security systems with data on millions of Americans
Briefly

The Supreme Court has delivered significant rulings favoring the Trump administration regarding the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Among these was a decision allowing access to Social Security systems, which hold personal data for millions, amid concerns about privacy safeguards. The conservative majority’s decisions stirred dissent primarily from liberal justices, particularly Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, who warned of serious privacy risks. This ruling reflects ongoing tensions following Elon Musk’s departure from overseeing DOGE, as questions remain about the future of the agency’s work without his leadership.
The court's conservative majority sided with the Trump administration in the first Supreme Court appeals involving DOGE, with the three liberal justices dissenting.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson expressed concerns over the court's action, stating it creates "grave privacy risks for millions of Americans" by granting unrestricted data access.
