A group of federal government employees have filed a class action lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Treasury and the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) for sharing payment systems and personnel databases with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). DOGE has gained access to the payment systems and personnel records of several government agencies, many of which contain the highly sensitive personal and financial information of American citizens. The plaintiffs argue that DOGE's ability view their private information violates the Privacy Act by failing to ask for the plaintiffs consent before sharing their information with another person or agency.
