Judge Jeannette A. Vargas issued a preliminary injunction on Friday but said she may lift the ban if the Treasury Department certifies by March 24 that DOGE members have received required cybersecurity training.

A federal judge in Manhattan has extended a ban on Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency accessing sensitive Treasury Department information, but rejected broader restrictions sought by 19 Democratic state attorneys general who sued over the issue.

The ruling found that DOGE access to the payment systems created a “realistic danger that confidential financial information will be disclosed.”
