This is all simply in accord with very well-settled black letter law. Trump's ignorance -- and Musk's fecklessness -- both constitute. . . no excuse. Here's the full 64 page opinion, and the summary order, below:
. . .OPINION AND ORDER:
The Court hereby ORDERS as follows:
ORDERED that, pursuant to Rule 65 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the United States Department of the Treasury and the Secretary of the Treasury are restrained from granting access to any Treasury Department payment record, payment systems, or any other data systems maintained by the Treasury Department containing personally identifiable information and/or confidential financial information of payees to any employee, officer or contractor employed or affiliated with the United States DOGE Service, DOGE, or the DOGE Team established at the Treasury Department, pending further Order of this Court;
ORDERED that, by Monday, March 24, 2025, the United States Department of the Treasury shall submit a report to this Court, as further set forth herein. Upon receipt of the above submissions from the Department of the Treasury, the Court will schedule prompt briefing to address whether the Treasury Department has adequately redressed the violations of the APA found herein, so as to justify the termination or modification of the preliminary injunction.
The Court hereby defers setting deadlines for the filing of a proposed case management plan or motions to amend the Complaint, and stays any deadlines for filing dispositive motions.
The Court will take up such matters after determining whether, and if so to what extent, a preliminary injunction remains warranted after the Treasury Department's forthcoming submission.
For the foregoing reasons, Plaintiffs' motion for a preliminary injunction is GRANTED.
(Signed by Judge Jeannette A. Vargas on 2/21/2025). . . .
Booyah, baby! Now 2 for 25. Trump on the losing end, of all those contests, save two.
