A federal judge in New York has extended the block on Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) representatives' access to sensitive data at the Treasury Department. US District Judge Jeannette Anne Vargas issued a preliminary injunction, which supersedes the temporary restraining order previously in place, allowing for potential appeals.
The lawsuit, brought by Democratic-led states, sought to limit DOGE's activities within the department. However, Judge Vargas did not grant the full extent of the requested restrictions, leaving the door open for further legal proceedings.
