Appeals Court Smacks Down Biden Judge, Grants DOGE Access to Sensitive Data From Several Government Agencies

A federal appeals court on Tuesday granted DOGE access to sensitive data from several government agencies, vacating a lower court’s preliminary injunction.

US District Judge Deborah Boardman, a Biden appointee, previously issued a preliminary injunction blocking DOGE from accessing potentially sensitive data, citing privacy violations.

A three-judge panel on the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, in a 2-1 ruling, smacked down Judge Boardman and rejected labor unions’ request to block DOGE’s access to the data.
