Measure, which will remain in force until February 14, is the result of a lawsuit initiated by a coalition of states governed by Democrats
This Saturday, a federal judge made us an emergency decision that prevents Doge, which can be made in English to the department of government efficiency, a committee led by and created by the former president, to have access to the US Treasury Payment System. The Order of Judge Paul A. Engelmayer prohibits any access to the Treasury Department systems and data by “all policy nominees, special government agents, and officials assigned to out -of -Treasury agencies.”
The measure, which will remain in force until February 14, is the result of a lawsuit initiated by a coalition of states governed by Democrats. These states claim that Doge does not have the legal authority necessary to access the treasury systems, which hold sensitive information from millions of US citizens. Prosecutors were highlighted that this situation could lead to significant risks to cybersecurity and affect the financing of essential programs.
Judge Engelmayer argued that without this order of blockade, states could suffer irreparable damage, especially regarding the possible disclosure of confidential data and exposure to cyber attacks. The lawsuit includes Trump and the Treasury Department as defendants, which intensifies the controversy surrounding Doge’s access to government systems.
In addition, another court decision has determined that the Treasury should restrict access to the payment system to only two “special government officials”, allowing them to have access only in reading mode. This measure aims to ensure the security of information and the integrity of data managed by the Treasury Department.
