The Trump administration filed an emergency application on Friday asking the Supreme Court to restore DOGE’s access to Social Security Administration records. A lower-court order that prohibited DOGE’s access is causing ”irreparable harm to the executive branch” and thwarting DOGE’s attempts to ”eliminate waste and fraud,” US Solicitor General John Sauer wrote in the appeal.
”The government cannot eliminate waste and fraud if district courts bar the very agency personnel with expertise and the designated mission of curtailing such waste and fraud from performing their jobs,” Sauer told the Supreme Court. The preliminary injunction that is currently in place halted ”the Executive Branch’s critically important efforts to improve its information-technology infrastructure and eliminate waste,” the brief said.
