A coalition of federal employee unions is suing Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) for allegedly attempting to seize personal information from the Department of Labor. They argue that DOGE's actions raise legal and ethical concerns about data integrity and government oversight. The unions claim DOGE demands access to sensitive information under threat of termination, leading to intimidation among employees. A federal court has temporarily blocked DOGE from accessing this information while the lawsuit is pending, reflecting the significant legal ramifications of the agency's controversial actions.
At every step, DOGE is violating multiple laws. DOGE seeks to gain access to sensitive systems before courts can stop them, dismantle agencies before Congress can assert its prerogatives.
DOGE has already demanded that department employees give them access to 'anything they want - or risk termination,' the lawsuit says.
The group seeks court intervention to stop DOGE from targeting the Department of Labor in its sweep against federal agencies, through a restraining order or administrative stay.
A restraining order has been granted to temporarily block the Labor Department from handing information over to DOGE while the court rules on the lawsuit.
