USA: Supreme Court grants DOGE access to citizens’ data

The government also initially prevailed in another case at the Supreme Court, in which plaintiffs demanded greater transparency from the DOGE cost-cutting committee. The conservative justices overturned a lower court's ruling that would have forced DOGE to release certain information, including internal emails.

The plaintiffs in the case claim that it should be possible to compel DOGE to release certain information, just like government agencies. The government argues that DOGE is not a government agency, but merely a body that advises the president. The case will now be heard further on the merits of an appeals court.
