A judge on Monday evening ruled not to block the Department of Government Efficiency from gaining access to data from the Department of Education on student borrowers. 

The request to the court to block the department was made in a lawsuit by the University of California Student Association that argued DOGE having access to such data would be a violation of privacy laws. 

Judge Randolph Moss, of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, ruled the plaintiff failed to show sufficient irreparable harm to receive such immediate relief. 

“Because the Court concludes that UCSA has failed to clear that essential hurdle, the Court’s analysis also ends there,” Moss wrote in his ruling.

“The Court leaves for another day consideration of whether USCA’s has standing to sue and has stated a claim upon which relief may be granted. Those questions are less clear cut and are better answered on a more complete record."

DOGE, headed by Elon Musk, has been trying to get access to data from multiple federal agencies to investigate whether there has been fraud or waste.

As of now, the department cannot access the Treasury Department due to a separate ruling. 

Another judge is expected to decide whether department, created by President Donald Trump, can have access to systems at federal agencies, according to The Hill newspaper.
