Federal Judge Grants Preliminary Injunction on DOGE Access to OPM, Education Department

U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman granted the American Federation of Teachers (AFT)'s motion for preliminary injunction Monday against the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and Education Department over the Department of Government Efficiency's (DOGE) access to sensitive personal information at the departments. "No matter how important or urgent the President’s DOGE agenda may be, federal agencies must execute it in accordance with the law," she said. "That likely did not happen in this case."
