Trump admin asks Supreme Court to let DOGE access Social Security data

WASHINGTON – The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court on May 2 to let Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency access the data of millions of Americans kept by the U.S. Social Security Administration.

A federal judge in Maryland had temporarily blocked DOGE from getting their hands on the data after she found the agency likely violated a federal privacy law when it gave DOGE unlimited access.

The administration said the judge overstepped, blocking “critically important efforts to improve its information-technology infrastructure and eliminate waste.”

That’s an “inappropriate superintendence of a coequal branch” of government, the Justice Department told the Supreme Court.
