Supreme Court OKs DOGE Access to Social Security Records of Millions

HeadlineJun 09, 2025

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled the Trump administration’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency can have access to sensitive records held by the Social Security Administration about millions of people. The court’s three liberal justices dissented. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson warned that the decision “creates grave privacy risks for millions of Americans.” In a separate ruling, the justices ruled DOGE can keep much of its inner workings secret for now without having to comply with requests filed under the Freedom of Information Act.
