A federal judge in New York ruled the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) can access the Treasury Department’s sensitive data systems that manage trillions of dollars in federal payments.
U.S. District Judge Jeannette Vargas initially blocked the team’s access in February.
However, she lifted the restriction after the Trump administration indicated the DOGE representatives went through vetting, training and security clearance procedures.
🚨 VICTORY: Judge allows DOGE to access “sensitive” U.S. Treasury Department systems controlling TRILLIONS in federal payments.
It is RIDICULOUS this was even a question. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is fully on board with DOGE – now they can become even more effective 🔥 pic.twitter.com/3LjxBtNRXh

ABC News reports:
The ruling marks a win for the Trump administration and DOGE, which caused a legal firestorm in February when it tried to get access to the Treasury Department’s payment systems. A group of Democratic attorneys general sued to block their access, and Vargas temporarily blocked their access in February but permitted DOGE to build a system to access the data with appropriate training and restrictions.
In April, Vargas allowed one DOGE employee to begin accessing the system. In yesterday’s ruling, she said the Trump administration had established a system to train employees to prevent improper disclosures. The attorneys general did not object to allowing DOGE’s access if the employees were properly trained.

From The Hill:
The judge also permitted the Treasury Department to provide access to future DOGE employees if they have gone through the same procedures. Vargas is an appointee of former President Biden who serves in New York.
“There is little utility in having this Court function as Treasury’s de facto human resources officer each time a new team member is onboarded,” Vargas wrote.
DOGE’s efforts to implant itself at agencies across the federal bureaucracy has sparked a wave of litigation.
Though some cases deal with efforts to dismantle certain agencies, many of the suits seek to block DOGE personnel from gaining access to sensitive government systems. The Trump administration has asked the Supreme Court to lift another judge’s ruling blocking DOGE’s access to systems at the Social Security Administration.
