    Judge blocks OPM, Education Department from sharing personal info with
    DOGE

    Unless overturned by a higher court, the order could be highly
    disruptive to Elon Musk's team as it executes the Trump
    administration's plans to reshape the federal workforce through
    government-wide initiatives
    ...
    ...
    The order is the most wide-ranging block on DOGE's activities to date
    and bars OPM, the government's HR department, from sharing federal
    employees' personal information with DOGE, as well as information
    related to student borrowers. It came in response to a lawsuit brought
    by federal employee unions, student loan recipients and veterans who
    receive government benefits. The judge's order formally applies only
    to them, but in practice it appears likely to serve as an
    across-the-board ban on DOGE's access to data OPM or the Education
    Department hold about individuals.
