On Friday, the Supreme Court allowed members of the Ministry of Governmental efficiency in the Trump administration to access the data of the Social Security Administration.
The conservative majority court, with the three liberal judges objected to a request to the emergency submitted by the Trump administration asking the judges to file a court order issued by a federal judge in Maryland.
The undesirable matter said that the members of the Doug team appointed to the Social Security Administration must have “access to the well -known agency’s records in order for these members to do them.”
The lawsuit of the lawsuit that defies the actions of Dog by the Progressive Democratic Group of the striker on behalf of two unions – the American Federation of Government, boycott, municipality and the American Federation of Teachers – as well as the alliance of retired Americans.
“This is a sad day for our democracy and a frightening day for millions of people,” the groups said in a statement. “This ruling will enable President Trump and Doug to steal private and personal data for the Americans.”
The White House praised the ruling.
“The Supreme Court that allowed the Trump administration to implement logical efforts to eliminate waste, fraud, abuse and modernization of government information systems is a great victory for the rule of law,” White House spokeswoman Liz Huston said in a statement.
Liberal justice, Kitanji Brown Jackson, wrote an opposition opinion, questioning the court’s need to intervene on the basis of emergency.
She added: “On its essence, the” insistence “on which the government application is based is just a fact that it cannot bother you to wait until the litigation process is operated before the follow -up as you wish.”
Dog, which was created by billionaire Elon Musk before falling with President Donald Trump, She says she wants to update systems, detect waste and fraud in the agency. The data that social security numbers, medical records, tax information and banking services are looking for.
“These teams have a business to access data in their designated agency, and the government’s records are subject to the need that affects the need.”
The lawsuit claimed that allowing the broader access to personal information would violate a federal law called the Privacy Law, as well as the Administrative Procedures Law.
“The agency is binding under the privacy law, its regulations, practices and procedures to keep this information safe – not to participate outside the circle of those who really need it.”
American boycott judge Ellen Hollande has eliminated that Dog did not need to access the specific data. The Richmond -based American Appeal Court rejected Virginia, to prevent Holland’s decision, which led to Trump’s request to emerge an emergency request at the Supreme Court.
In a separate order issued at the same time in another case that included Dog, the Supreme Court granted another request submitted by the Trump administration.
This decision allows the Trump administration, at the present time, a Doug shield of freedom of information that seeks to obtain thousands of pages of materials.
This step gives an official decision to a decision issued by John Roberts President John Roberts on May 23, who has temporarily set the minimum court decisions, while the Supreme Court considered the following steps that must be taken. The court also informed the minimum courts to limit the scope of what materials can be detected.
This means that the government will not have to respond to the requests for documents and allow the deposit of a Doug official, Amy Gleleson, as the court ruled the lower, while the litigation continues.
The three liberal judges noticed their dispute with this decision as well.
A spokesman for the citizens on the responsibility and ethics in Washington, which filed the lawsuit, said that the group “was clearly disappointed” the decision, but “is happy that the court allowed the discovery.”
A spokesman for the Ministry of Justice did not immediately respond to a request to comment on the request.
