The Supreme Court has temporarily granted the DOGE team, associated with Elon Musk, unrestricted access to sensitive information from the Social Security Administration (SSA), including personal identifiers and health records. The decision, made in a 6-3 vote, overturned lower court rulings which had limited this access. Dissenting Justices Jackson and Sotomayor expressed grave concerns about the implications for citizens' privacy and criticized the majority for prioritizing urgency over legal process, suggesting the move could compromise personal data while the case is still under litigation.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson criticized the court's majority for granting DOGE access to unredacted personal information before assessing its legality, expressing concern for citizens' privacy.
In a pointed dissent, Jackson stated the urgency claimed by the government is merely an excuse to forgo the legal process, jeopardizing personal data of citizens.
