A panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit allowed Department of Government Efficiency access to data held by some federal agencies.

In addition to the Office of Personnel Management's systems, the court allowed DOGE to have continued access to those maintained by the departments of Treasury and Education. A panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit overturned a lower court’s injunction that initially blocked DOGE’s access.

A federal appeals court ruled Tuesday that a group of veterans and labor unions were not entitled to a preliminary injunction that would have blocked DOGE access to their sensitive personal records.
