Education Department Agrees to Block DOGE from Accessing Student Data

The Trump administration agreed Tuesday to temporarily bar agents of billionaire Elon Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service from accessing sensitive student data at the Education Department. The agreement will remain in place until at least Monday, when U.S. District Judge Randolph D. Moss is expected to decide whether to issue a temporary restraining order. In the meantime, Moss, in federal district court in the District of Columbia, said the department may not allow any U.S. DOGE Service staffers access to 13 databases, including the National Student Loan Data System.
