  • The Solicitor General argued that the judicial order limits President Donald Trump's executive powers and hinders essential government functions.
  • The district court’s flawed injunction forecloses the Executive Branch from carrying out the pressing priorities of modernizing government information systems and ferreting out fraud, waste, and abuse.— D. John Sauer, Solicitor General of the Trump administration, in a filing to the Supreme Court.
  • The court has asked union attorneys opposing DOGE's access to respond by May 12.

  • The appeals court rejected the Trump administration's claim that DOGE cannot operate without access to personal data, noting that work could be accomplished with anonymized information.
