In a significant development in the legal case concerning the oversight of DOGE-related operations, Judge Paul Engelmayer of the Southern District of New York has issued an order that restricts various individuals from accessing Treasury payment records and data systems. This ruling aims to protect sensitive personally identifiable information and confidential financial data. Further, individuals who have gained unauthorized access since January 2025 are mandated to destroy any records accessed. This follows a similar order from Judge Kollar-Kotelly, reinforcing stringent access controls over Treasury systems.
The legal fight to restrict access to Treasury data involves a judge ordering the Treasury to prevent unauthorized usage related to payments and confidential information.
Judge Engelmayer's ruling blocks access to Treasury payment records for certain non-civil servant officials, ensuring only those with backgrounds can view sensitive data.
This decision continues a trend from Judge Kollar-Kotelly's earlier decision which limited access to Treasury's payment system and allowed only read-only access for specific DOGE personnel.
The court orders those who had unauthorized access to Treasury data since January 2025 to destroy any copies of information they've acquired to protect confidential records.
