Marko Elez, a former employee at the Department of Labor, resigned after racist tweets surfaced but has since been rehired to work with sensitive data at various federal agencies, including HHS. An audit revealed Elez breached data-sharing rules by improperly sending personal information to GSA officials. A lawsuit filed by labor unions seeks to investigate the operations of DOGE, prompting U.S. District Judge Bates to demand more information rather than halt DOGE activities. The situation raises questions about data security and accountability in federal staffing.
Marko Elez, who resigned over past racist tweets, has been rehired to access sensitive data across several federal agencies despite previous violations.
The court filing reveals that Elez had improperly shared sensitive personal information, prompting concerns about data access by the DOGE entity.
Despite Elez's checkered past, federal judges have allowed DOGE to continue operations within key departments, demanding further scrutiny instead of an outright block.
The lawsuit by labor unions aims to shed light on the staffing and data access protocols involving the controversial DOGE oversight.
