Judge extends block on Musk's DOGE from Treasury systems
A U.S. judge on Friday extended a block on Elon Musk's government cost-cutting team known as DOGE from accessing Treasury Department systems responsible for trillions of dollars in government payments.
U.S. District Judge Jeannette Vargas in Manhattan granted a request from 19 Democratic state attorneys general for a preliminary injunction on DOGE's access to the systems, pending the outcome of their lawsuit.
The states cited a risk that sensitive information could be improperly disclosed, and said DOGE had no legal authority to access the systems.
Vargas said the states were likely correct, and the Treasury Department had failed to consider the serious risk of allowing access to states' banking information.
"While it appears that the career staff at (Treasury) did their best to develop what mitigation strategies they could, the inexplicable urgency and time constraints under which they operated all but ensured that the launch of the Treasury DOGE Team was chaotic and haphazard," Vargas wrote.
The White House and the Treasury Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
New York Attorney General Letitia James, whose office is leading the lawsuit, said in a statement the ruling prevents "DOGE and unauthorized, unelected, and unvetted individuals like Elon Musk from accessing people's private data and blocking federal funds."
U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer, hearing the case on an emergency basis on February 8, had previously granted a shorter-lasting temporary restraining order. Vargas temporarily extended that restraining order at a court hearing last week while she considered the request for a preliminary injunction.
The states' lawsuit is one of several involving DOGE's access to Treasury systems and sensitive information maintained by other federal agencies, and the challenges have had mixed results.
Judges in Washington, D.C., last week allowed DOGE staffers to access records at health, education, labor, and consumer financial protection agencies. This week, a different Washington judge declined to immediately block DOGE from directing firings of federal workers or accessing databases.

Political conference in DC interrupted by death threats against speakers critical of Trump
A political conference in Washington, DC, that bills itself as the alternative to the Trump-aligned CPAC was evacuated on Sunday after a death threat made against several of its speakers who have been critical of President Donald Trump.
Shortly after noon Sunday, organizers of the Principles First Summit received an email threatening several of its high-profile speakers and claiming to have planted pipe bombs on site, according to a copy of the email CNN obtained, conference organizers and Washington, DC’s Metropolitan Police Department..
The email threat mentioned former national security adviser John Bolton and former US DC police officer Michael Fanone, who was among those who defended the US Capitol building on January 6, 2021.
The email sender claimed that two pipe bombs were placed at the JW Marriott hotel in DC that was hosting the Principles First Summit. The email also claimed that a pipe bomb would be placed inside the mailbox of Bolton’s home in Maryland.
The organizers alerted their private security and the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia about the threat, Principles First founder Heath Mayo said in a press conference Sunday night. The hotel made the decision to evacuate the floor where the conference was held, according to Mayo.
“Further investigation has revealed that the threat is unfounded. This incident has concluded,” the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia said in a statement to CNN.
The Montgomery County Police was dispatched to Bolton’s residence “this afternoon for a reported bomb threat, which was proven to be unfounded,” the department said Sunday in a statement provided to CNN.
The threat came from an untraceable email address, and the sender said it was meant to “honor the J6 hostages recently released.”
Mayo on Sunday said that they have not yet determined who sent the email targeting the conference. Law enforcement has not commented on who made the threat.
“We are not going to be cowed, we are not going to bend our knee. This type of threat to the physical safety of us, members of Congress, this is a real problem in the United States of America. And it isn’t going to stand,” Mayo told attendees when the conference resumed later Sunday afternoon.
The Principles First Summit bills itself as an alternative to the more Trump-aligned Conservative Political Action Conference.
The email also threatened other speakers including New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, former US Rep. Adam Kinzinger, former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan, retired federal appeals court Judge J. Michael Luttig, and businessman Mark Cuban.
