The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) filed suit against the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), the U.S. Treasury Department and the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Monday. EPIC called DOGE’s allegedly illegal seizure of personnel records and payment system data “the largest data breach in American history.”
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau violated federal privacy law by allowing Elon Musk and his associates access to sensitive data, and the Trump administration is violating the law by halting work at the agency, a federal employee union said in two lawsuits filed Sunday.
Courts are responding appropriately to the Trump administration’s disregard for federal privacy law, consumer advocates said Monday as federal injunctions mount against Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) (see 2502070050).
A coalition of 14 state attorneys general said Thursday they will sue to block Elon Musk’s data-collection efforts at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Meanwhile, congressional Republicans and Democrats want more information about the authority DOGE is using to collect sensitive information (see 2502050046).
