Baltimore (APP) – On Thursday, a federal judge has imposed new sanctions on the government’s performance of the billionaire Elon Musk’s department, which limits its access to millions of Americans to the social security system with personal data.
The decree allows the Dage staff to access data that is personally eliminated or snatched, if they check the training and background.
The Hollander said that the Dodge and any DOG staff will have to clear any missing social security data from January 20. They have also been prevented from making any changes to computer code or software used by the Social Security Administration, they must remove any software or code they have already been installed, and it is forbidden to reveal this code to others.
“The purpose of fraud, waste, mismanagement and flowers is commendable, and which the American people probably praise and support it,” Hollander wrote in a decision issued Thursday night. “In fact, taxpayers have the right to expect their government to make sure that their hard earned money is not scattered.”
But this is not a problem, Halllander said – the problem is how the Dodge wants to do the job.
The judge wrote, “For almost 90 years, the SSA has been guided by the basic principle of expectation in relation to its records. This matter exposes a vast whisper in the Foundation.”
During a federal court hearing in Baltimore on Tuesday, Hollander repeatedly asked government lawyers why the Dodge needed “seemingly baseless access” to the agency’s sensitive personal information strings to expose social protection fraud.
Members of the union and retired dods gathered outside the court to protest, which they consider to be a threat to the future of social protection benefits.
“What are we doing, who needs all this information?” Hollander said, asking whether most data can be anonymous, at least in the early stages of analysis.
The Trump administration’s lawyers said changing the process would reduce their efforts.
“Although anonymity is possible, it is a very burden,” Bradley Humfri, the department’s attorney, told the court.
He argued that access to the DEGE does not deviate significantly within the agency, where employees and auditors are allowed to find their database as usual.
But the plaintiff’s lawyers have termed it as extraordinary and “a maritime change” in the sense of how the agency handles sensitive information, including medical and mental health records and other data related to people with disabilities and people – “cases that are not only sensitive but can also tolerate a notoriety.”
Lawyer’s lawyer, a lawyer for Democracy Forward, Eltia N. Swift, said that the legal services group Democracy Forward’s lawyer, who is behind legal services, who is a lawyer for legal services Democracy Forward, said only access is just a violation of privacy.
“This intervention creates a reasonable anxiety,” he said.
President Donald Trump has experienced a riot since his second term began. In February, the acting commissioner of the agency Michelle King Stepped down After refusing to provide access to the Dodge staff, the role he wanted.
The White House replaced Lelland Dodak – who failed to appear at the hearing on Tuesday when Halllander requested to testify about recent dodge efforts. The judge issued a letter last month, complaining about Dodak’s threats, saying that Halllander’s temporarily stopped, he could have to close the agency’s operations or suspend payment.
Hollander made it clear that his order was not applied to SSA workers who do not provide information or information for dodge, so they can still access any data used during normal work. But the Dodge staff who want access to anonymous data will first have to check the general training and background of other Social Security Administration staff.
In recent weeks, Dodak has the Calls faced to resign Then when he issued an order in which Mine’s parents would need to register their newborns for social security numbers at the Federal Office instead of the hospital. The order was removed quickly. But emails show that the Democrat is a political payment to the Mine Government Genetics Mills, which has refused to refuse the state’s refusal to refuse federal financing on the Trump administration’s transgender athletes.
Despite the political context on the issue of access to the DAG, Hollander advised Humpfreys when he advised during the Tuesday hearing that he was questioned “policy differences.”
During the hearing on Tuesday, the judge said, “I am guilty of your comment because I’m just trying to understand the system.”
The 75 -year -old Hollander, who was nominated by President Barack Obama in a federal bench, is the latest judge to consider the Dodge related case.
Many of his inquiries are focused on Tuesday whether the issue of social security is significantly different from that. Another case of Maryland Challenge access to data in three other DOG agencies: Department of Education, Treasury and Office of Personal Management. In this case, recently an appeal court Preliminary order blocking the restriction And once again cleared the way to access people’s private data.
The Hollander’s order may also be appealed to the fourth US Circuit Court of Appeal, which is supported by the Trump administration in other matters, which includes permission to access the US agency for international development and allow executive orders to advance against, equity and involvement.
