A federal judge on Monday denied a request from college students to prevent Elon Musk’s government efficiency team from accessing U.S. Department of Education databases, a move they said placed the confidential records of millions in jeopardy.
U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss permitted the agency’s six-person detail from the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, to access systems with millions of students' personal and financial information while the privacy lawsuit unfolds. The Education Department had agreed to bar DOGE from the agency's databases for a week while awaiting the judge's decision.
In a 13-page order, Moss called fears that DOGE’s entry into the Education Department’s internal systems could lead to identity theft and targeted immigration enforcement “entirely conjectural.”
