The Federal Judge kinda says the Musk’s people are amatures and dangerous…..
A federal judge on Friday extended an order keeping Elon Musk’s DOGE team out of Treasury Department payment systems, ruling that the Trump administration’s process for granting access to the sensitive data was so flawed and haphazard that it was likely illegal.
U.S. District Judge Jeannette Vargas ruled that Democratic attorneys general were likely to prevail in their claim that Treasury acted arbitrarily and capriciously in giving two DOGE employees access to the systems that control trillions of dollars of federal payments each year.
In a 64-page opinion, Vargas, a Manhattan-based appointee of former President Joe Biden, ruled that Treasury’s “rushed and ad hoc process” for granting DOGE access to the payment systems created a “realistic danger that confidential financial information will be disclosed.”…

Vargas dinged Treasury officials for standing up its DOGE operation in a “chaotic and haphazard” manner. The agency moved with “inexplicable urgency” to permit its DOGE team to access critical payment systems, Vargas wrote, leaving career staff “with almost no time” to develop measures to mitigate the “serious risks that access entailed.”
The preliminary injunction Vargas issued on Friday prohibits anyone affiliated with the U.S. DOGE Service or the Treasury DOGE team from accessing federal payment systems until further notice. That is narrower than an earlier, temporary order that had gone further in barring nearly all political appointees from also accessing the data.
A separate judge in Washington D.C. has also imposed restrictions on how Treasury grants access to the payment system….
