Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes has been granted a temporary restraining order against Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, preventing access to federal payment systems. This action comes after 19 attorneys general filed a lawsuit to protect Americans’ sensitive personal information from unauthorized disclosure. The federal judge’s decision prohibits Musk and his employees from accessing and requires the destruction of any data obtained. Mayes and the coalition are seeking a preliminary injunction in court on Feb. 14. The attorneys general cite concerns about privacy, security risks, and potential missed payments for programs like Social Security and Medicare. The lawsuit aims to prevent what they see as an unconstitutional breach of privacy and unauthorized access to personal information. The recent court ruling allows limited access to Treasury Department payment systems for two Musk allies, but blocks further access for now. The case highlights ongoing efforts to safeguard Americans’ private data from unauthorized disclosure.
